AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the sleeve for the single "Boum! Un coup d’matraque" performed by Le Président Shû-Shan. On the visible side, the sleeve boasts a striking visual: a photographic portrait of the singer, dressed in a dark jacket with a silver button, posed in front of a stylized nocturnal urban backdrop, dominated by the World Trade Center's twin towers and a skyscraper skyline under a reddish sky. The character holds a black baton, accentuating the striking aesthetic of the cover, topped with a graphic barbed wire in the foreground. The titles and artist's name are inscribed at the top and bottom of the sleeve in distinct typographies, the name "LE PRESIDENT SHÛ-SHAN" in white and the title "BOUM! UN COUP D’MATRAQUE" in bright yellow, in imposing capital letters.

The graphic design evokes urban music production from the 1980s to 1990s, through its imagery of an American city and its choice of saturated colors. The presence of the Twin Towers is a strong temporal indicator, dating the imagery to before 2001. A white sticker with the handwritten mention "P-115" is affixed to the upper right part of the sleeve, likely a catalog reference from an old record store or a private collection.

The visual condition of the sleeve shows some light wear marks on the edges, typical of a vintage vinyl record handled with care but showing a patina of use. No major snags, creases, or tears are visible on the exposed side. The texture of the sleeve appears matte with a slightly satin finish under light, without excessive reflections.

This 45 rpm single, a simple format, is typical of music productions of the era, often sought after for their aesthetic and original musical content. The visible side does not present any other information about the label, record company, or precise year of publication. The 45T (45 rpm) format is confirmed by the provided keywords.

Did you know? The 45 rpm vinyl format, also known as a "single," appeared in 1949 and revolutionized the music industry by allowing for the rapid dissemination of short and impactful tracks. 45 rpm records were the preferred medium for radio hits and new releases, before the rise of the CD.
