Vinyl 45 RPM Guirao Combat de Cobras vintage worn sleeve untested

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 RPM vinyl record with a sleeve featuring a very typical 1980s graphic design, with dominant beige, brown, and red colors. On the front, the artist "Guirao" is mentioned in the upper left in black capital letters, accompanied by a horizontal red band. The title "Combat de Cobras" appears in the upper right in a bright red handwritten font. The central image shows a blurred male silhouette in motion, intentionally blurred for a dynamic and artistic effect, characteristic of the period.

The sleeve shows several visible signs of wear, including a tear on the upper right part, partially crossing the title, and dark marks or stains, especially in the center and bottom. The corners are slightly dog-eared, indicating prolonged handling and storage. The photographed support is wood, and the background features old books, highlighting the retro aspect of the object.

This 45 RPM record, a standard vinyl single format, does not display any other information on the front (no label, no visible year), which is common for this type of independent production or lesser-known artist at the time. The flexible sleeve appears to be made of cardboard, with no apparent glossy finish.

The overall visual, with its artistic blur effect and handwritten graphics, clearly evokes the French pop or variety scene of the 80s. The ensemble is typical of musical productions from this decade, both in the choice of colors and in the minimalist and expressive layout.

Condition

Used item sold as is: the sleeve has a significant tear on the front, ink marks or stains, as well as creases and worn corners. The record has not been tested and its playability is not guaranteed.

Did you know? The 45 RPM format, also called a "single," was the preferred medium for promoting music tracks from the 1950s until the late 1980s, before the rise of the CD. Illustrated sleeves, often entrusted to independent graphic designers, are now sought after for their aesthetic and historical value.
