AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the single "Nice Baie des Anges" performed by Dick Rivers. The sleeve shown in the photo boasts a colorful and detailed illustration, typical of French productions from the 1970s. It highlights a drawn portrait of Dick Rivers in the center, surrounded by motifs evoking the French Riviera: classic American cars, a pin-up, palm trees, a seaside hotel, and the Nice city crest. The mention "RCA éditeur" and the Paris address are inscribed at the bottom of the sleeve, confirming the original French edition.

The front of the sleeve is in good overall condition, with vibrant colors and a particularly evocative retro graphic design. The title "NICE BAIE DES ANGES" is clearly visible in large brown letters on a white background, as well as the artist's name "DICK RIVERS" in a blue box. The reference number PB 61320 (45 TOURS RC 110) is visible on the left, below the title, indicating the 45 rpm format.

Visual elements include a red Cadillac, a pin-up in a checkered dress, a uniformed police officer, and seaside scenery, which reinforce the vintage pop-rock imagery associated with Dick Rivers. The illustrator's signature ("PH. GAU" and "TR. GAU") appears in two places on the sleeve. The RCA logo is printed at the bottom center.

The visible surface of the record is not shown in this image; only the front sleeve is observable. No major defects are visible on the presented side, apart from slight handling marks and small imperfections on the edges, typical of a used record from that era.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Front sleeve in good visual condition, colors and motifs well preserved. Slight signs of wear and small creases visible on the corners.

Did you know? Dick Rivers, an emblematic French rock singer, often collaborated with illustrator Philippe Gauckler, whose style marked many record sleeves in the 1970s and 1980s. The 45 rpm format dominated the single market in France between 1955 and 1985, allowing for the rapid dissemination of new titles on the airwaves.
