Vinyl 45 RPM Manset Il Voyage en Solitaire vintage old record EMI

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Manset's single "Il voyage en solitaire," with its original sleeve clearly visible in the photo. The front illustration displays a blue graphic on a white background, depicting a lone silhouette on a train station platform, with stylized railway elements. The title "MANSET il voyage en solitaire" is printed in bold black letters at the top, with a layout typical of French productions from the late 1970s. The EMI logo appears in the bottom left corner, confirming an original label release.

The visual shows a cardboard sleeve, with rounded corners and slightly worn edges, typical of old vinyl records that have been in circulation. A blue stamp "JEUX AUTOMATIQUES SOULISSE" with an address in Royan is clearly visible on the front, adding a period-specific detail to this copy. The reference "2C 004-13088" is legible in the top left, allowing for precise identification of this EMI France edition.

The visible surface of the sleeve shows several signs of use: traces of wear, dirt, and small creases, mainly on the edges and corners. These signs of age attest to an authentic item that has spanned decades. No visual of the record itself is visible in this image; only the front sleeve is shown.

The graphic style, typography, and photographic treatment place this item in the late 1970s, consistent with the initial release of the title (1978). The retro and vintage appearance is reinforced by the patina and the clean design of the whole. The "stereo" inscription in the bottom right confirms the stereo format, standard for this type of pressing at the time.

This 45 rpm record is a classic of the French repertoire, appreciated for its period aesthetic and Manset's renown. It is a vinyl medium, single-sided format, commonly sought after in the vintage music and old records category.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with significant wear on the sleeve (corners, edges, traces, and visible stamp). Since the record is not visible in the photo, no comment can be made on its condition.

Did you know? Gérard Manset, a French singer-songwriter, released "Il voyage en solitaire" in 1978, a title that became emblematic of French chanson. This single remained one of the most famous in his repertoire, often reissued, but its first release on EMI 45 rpm is particularly sought after for its graphic authenticity.
