Description

This 45-rpm vinyl record features singer Mireille Mathieu on a sleeve with warm, orange tones, typical of the graphic style of the 1970s. The visible side shows a close-up photograph of Mireille Mathieu, smiling, against a bright background. The sleeve displays the titles "C’EST L’AMOUR ET LA VIE QUE JE TE DOIS" and "LA PALOMA, ADIEU" in capital letters at the top, with a colorful blue and purple layout, clearly legible. The Philips logo, an emblematic brand in publishing, appears at the top right, accompanied by the reference "6009 711."

The artist's name, Mireille Mathieu, is inscribed in large dark blue letters at the bottom left of the sleeve. To the right, the mention "PHILIPS" confirms the record label. The mention "DISTRIBUTION PHONOGRAM" and photo credit to Eric Bach are also noted at the bottom left. The entire sleeve is made of cardboard, typical of 45s from that era, with a glossy finish on the image.

Visually, the sleeve shows some signs of wear on the edges, particularly creases and slight crush marks in the corners, indicating an antique item that has stood the test of time. No content from the back or the record itself is visible in this image. The colors remain vibrant, and the print remains clearly legible despite the signs of age.

The overall aesthetic, typography, and photography clearly place this record in a vintage production, probably from the early to mid-1970s, consistent with Mireille Mathieu's peak period and Philips' graphic codes at that time.

This 45-rpm vinyl record is a classic audio medium for singles, appreciated for its compact format and the quality of its period pressings. The illustrated sleeve highlights the emblematic visual style of French variety productions from that period.
