AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record is an EP by the French vocal group Les Compagnons de la Chanson, presented in its original sleeve. The front of the sleeve features a color photograph of the group members lined up outdoors, each wearing a different colored sweater or jacket, against a natural landscape background. The graphic layout is characteristic of French productions from the 1960s, with a blue band at the top displaying the group's name in capital letters, as well as the tracklist in red and black.

The sleeve lists the following tracks: "La chanson de Lara", "Le temps des étudiants", "L'amour sans toi", and "Surcouf (Original Film Soundtrack)". The upper left corner shows the CBS logo, as well as the reference EP 5741, confirming the original release by this label. The visible surface of the sleeve shows signs of wear, including a slight crease in the upper right, as well as a slightly yellowed appearance, typical of a vintage record from that era.

The sleeve design is typical of French productions from the yéyé period, with an outdoor group photograph and a sober layout, accentuated by an orange border around the titles. There is an absence of any superfluous graphics, which highlights the group and the record's tracks. No other visuals or text are legible on the visible part of this sleeve.

The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the front sleeve is shown. No details about the condition of the vinyl are observable, in accordance with the "untested condition" mentioned in the keywords. The sleeve gives a visual impression of vintage, reinforced by the slight patina of the cardboard and the photographic style of the era.
