Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the single "L'Étranger au Paradis" performed by Shake. The cover, visible in the photo, shows the artist in a medium shot, arms outstretched, in front of a blue brick wall. The name "SHAKE" is written in white graffiti-style letters, adding an urban touch and a distinct 1970s feel to the overall design. At the top of the cover is the title "L'Étranger au Paradis" in white typography on a brick-blue background, very legible and characteristic of French pop productions of that era.

In the bottom left, the "Orlando Records" label logo is clearly visible, while in the bottom right appears the mention "Distribution Carrere," two major players in the French music scene of the period. The photograph of Shake, wearing a white jacket and dark, shiny-looking trousers, evokes the pop and variety aesthetic of the late 70s or early 80s. The cover adopts a colorful and dynamic visual style, typical of this musical era, with a strong contrast between the blue wall and the artist's clothing.

The visible side shows no tears or major apparent defects on the cover. The surface appears smooth, with no visible traces of moisture or rings. The corners are slightly blunted, which is common for a record of this period, but the overall presentation remains very good.

This 45 rpm record is sought after by French pop music enthusiasts and vintage vinyl collectors, particularly for its retro aesthetic and the popularity of the artist Shake at the time. The information on the cover is perfectly legible and offers an attractive visual for display in a selection of vintage records or as a decorative piece in a seventies-inspired interior.

This 45 rpm vinyl, with its original cover, is a testament to the graphic design of music in the 1970s, where the artist's image was central and typography was crafted to catch the eye on store shelves.
