Description

This 45 RPM vinyl record features the single "Boys and Girls" by the band CHARLIE makes the Cook. The cover boasts a typical 80s pop design, with a central photograph of three female band members, voluminous hairstyles, and vibrant outfits in red tones, set against a neutral background. The graphic frame of the cover is distinguished by stylized illustrations of dancing and sporty silhouettes, printed in pink, blue, yellow, and white on a speckled gray background. The title "Boys and Girls" is inscribed in yellow handwritten letters at the top, while the band's name "CHARLIE makes the Cook" appears at the bottom right in yellow and orange typography.

The visible side shows a cover in good overall condition, with no apparent tears or missing parts. The colors remain vibrant, and the graphic patterns are well-preserved. No handwritten inscriptions or stickers are visible on the photographed part.

This 45 RPM record is characteristic of French or European pop/new wave productions from the early to late 1980s, both in its graphic aesthetic and in the prominent display of the band on the cover. The whole evokes the visual universe of the female music scene of that decade, with a graphic identity marked by the energy and fantasy of the 80s.

The simple cover highlights the band and its identity, while presenting dynamic graphic elements that recall the artistic trends of that era. The contrast between the patterned gray background and the colorful illustrations accentuates the retro and festive effect sought by the design.

The center of the cover suggests the presence of the record inside, but only the front is visible in the photo. No other accessories or inserts are apparent.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with moderate signs of wear consistent with age (see photo). The visible side of the cover shows no major defects.

Did you know? The 45 RPM format, also called a "single," dominated the distribution of pop and rock's hit songs in the 80s. Illustrated covers were often designed to reflect the visual identity of the band or title, sometimes becoming emblematic of the musical aesthetic of the era.
