AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The vinyl record presented here is a 45 RPM Extended Play (EP), identifiable by its illustrated cardboard sleeve, typical of French productions from the 1950s-60s. The item shows the front of the sleeve, which features a blue and black bichrome visual, with a black and white photograph of the Marino Marini Quartet, a popular orchestra of that era. The four musicians are depicted in costume, in a friendly staging, typical of dance record sleeves of the time.

The sleeve displays the main title "Dansons Joyeusement Vol.6" at the top, as well as the artist's name "Marino Marini Quartet" in large blue letters, accompanied by the mention "Hernando’s Hideaway" and the subtitle "Amour, Castagnettes, et Tango" at the bottom left. Also mentioned are the titles "Wine On Harvest Moon", "Ballio Tango El Choclo" and "La Plus Belle Del Mondo", printed vertically next to each musician. The "Vogue" label logo (Durium edition) and the record reference DVEP 95.018 appear at the bottom right of the sleeve.

Visually, the sleeve has a predominant pastel blue and white color scheme, with clear contrasts and a graphic style typical of the mid-20th century. The overall condition visible in the photo shows some moderate signs of wear, typical of an old record, including a slight crease on the bottom left corner and possible handling marks on the cardboard surface. No major tears or significant stains are visible on the visible part.

This vinyl record is a representative piece of popular dance music produced in France in the 50s-60s, both by its graphic aesthetic and by the repertoire choice of the Marino Marini Quartet, famous for its adaptations of tangos, paso dobles, and other festive Latin rhythms.
