Charles Aznavour 45 rpm vinyl record, vintage Barclay photo sleeve, 60s retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features an iconic photographic sleeve highlighting a color portrait of Charles Aznavour, a major figure in French chanson. The sleeve, with a graphic design typical of the 1960s, displays the artist's name at the top in black letters on a red and white background, accompanied by the mention "Barclay" on the right. The titles visible on the front are: "et pourtant", "le temps des caresses", "si tu m'emportes" and "tu veux", indicating a multi-track record, characteristic of EP (extended play) records of that era.

The visual emphasizes a strong contrast between the dark background and the illuminated face of the artist, giving the whole a sober and elegant aesthetic. The graphics use modern typographies, very representative of the retro style and graphic design of the mid-20th century. All the text and graphic elements are clearly legible on the visible side.

The sleeve shows visible signs of wear and tear on the surface, mainly some scuffs and marks, with no apparent tears on this side. The upper corners show slight rounding marks, which is common for old vinyl records. No elements of the back are visible in the photo; the description concerns only the front side.

The Barclay logo, a historic record label, is clearly visible at the bottom right of the red band. The inscription "70694 M" is at the top left, indicating the record's reference. No other details or date mentions are legible on this side, but the graphic style and presentation suggest a 1960s edition, a key period for Aznavour with Barclay.
