Glenn Medeiros Elsa Un Roman d’Amitié vintage 45 rpm vinyl record with retro picture sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This 45 rpm vinyl record features an iconic 80s color photograph on its cover: Glenn Medeiros and Elsa, sitting on the rear bumper of a black car, a Le Baron model, identifiable by its Californian license plate. The duo strikes a relaxed pose, evoking the pop and friendly spirit of the decade. The right side of the cover, in a vibrant red block, displays the artists' names "glenn medeiros" and "elsa" in white letters, followed by the title "un roman d’amitié (friend you give me a reason)".

The cover stands out with a photographic composition typical of late 1980s French and international pop aesthetics, featuring an urban setting and fashion (jeans, white sneakers, light shirt, and turquoise striped scarf). The typography used on the cover, simple and sans-serif, reinforces the contemporary visual identity of the era. No record label logo is visible on the front, which highlights the image and the title.

The visible colors – vivid red, turquoise blue, white, black, and shades of gray – give the object an immediately recognizable retro look. The cardboard cover shows visible signs of wear on the edges, including a slight fold on the bottom right, indicating prior use and prolonged storage.

This 45 rpm single, a standard format for 80s pop releases, is designed to be played on a suitable vinyl turntable. The photograph, combined with the layout, makes this item a decorative and musical collectible sought after by vintage aesthetic enthusiasts or those with musical memories of this period.

The title "un roman d’amitié" is in French, with the English subtitle "(friend you give me a reason)", recalling the context of international collaboration characteristic of pop music from that era.

Condition Used item, sold as is. The cover shows signs of wear, a visible fold on the bottom right corner, and a general patina consistent with an old record. The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the condition of the cover and its front are described here.
