Vintage vinyl Saint Preux Your Hair retro 45 rpm Heloise Carrere

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old vinyl record features a delicate graphic sleeve, dominated by pastel shades and an artistic visual evoking a light illustration of a stylized female face. On the visible side, the title "YOUR HAIR" appears in large green letters, accompanied by the mention "d’après un poème de Charles Baudelaire" (based on a poem by Charles Baudelaire) in orange. The sleeve bears the mention "SAINT PREUX" in purple letters at the bottom, as well as the logos "HELOISE DISQUES" and "CARRERE" for distribution.

The sleeve also displays, on the left, a commercial inscription: "JEUX AUTOMATIQUES A. SOULISSE, 124, Boulevard Frank-Lamy, 17200 ROYAN - Tél. ...". This mention adds a regional and authentic touch to this copy, typical of the pressings of the era distributed locally.

The overall visual is typical of a retro aesthetic, with a slightly patinated print and visible signs of wear on the surface (small marks, dirt, blunted corners). The dominance of light colors and the illustration, both sober and poetic, recall the graphic style of the late 1970s or early 1980s, a period when Saint Preux was active in instrumental music and French song.

The record is released under the Heloise Disques label, with Carrere distribution, two companies known for their involvement in the French music scene of the time. The typography and general presentation are faithful to the standards of vintage 45 rpm vinyl, even if the precise dimension is not mentioned here.

Did you know? Saint Preux is a French composer and musician renowned for his works blending classical music, pop, and poetic inspirations. "Your Hair" is inspired by a poem by Charles Baudelaire, illustrating the trend of the 70s-80s to merge music and literature in French record publishing.
