Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original sleeve of "L'oiseau et l'enfant" performed by Marie Myriam. The sleeve showcases a color photographic portrait of the artist, printed on a dark background, with white and pink typography for the main inscriptions. The text "Grand Prix Eurovision 1977" and "l'oiseau et l'enfant" appears in the top left, while the Polydor logo is clearly visible in the bottom left. The reference 2056 601 is shown in the top right. The photograph, signed Bernard Alès, gives the whole a visual style typical of the late 1970s.

The visible side of the sleeve shows some light signs of wear on the edges, with no apparent major tears. The colors remain vibrant, particularly the contrast between the dark background and the artist's skin tone. No major defects are observable on the exposed side. The sleeve's printing is crisp, and the font used for the title and the singer's name evokes the disco/pop graphic style of the late seventies.

The 45 rpm record (single) corresponds to a standard format of the era, suitable for classic vinyl turntables. The item is photographed outdoors, placed on a wooden surface, which highlights the authentic and vintage aspect of the whole. The sleeve, in a compact format specific to singles, is typical of Polydor's production of the period, recognizable by its red and white logo.

The design of the sleeve, with its close-up portrait and the highlighting of the Eurovision-winning title, perfectly illustrates the marketing strategy of record labels in the late 1970s, aiming to capitalize on the international success of the song. This graphic visual, associated with the explicit mention of the Eurovision Grand Prix, clearly places the item in the history of French song and European pop.
