Mouloudji Philips 60s retro Harcourt photo sleeve 45 rpm EP vinyl

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

As a professional record dealer, I am offering a Mouloudji 45 RPM EP vinyl record, released by Philips under the reference "432.060 NE". The sleeve features a black and white photographic portrait of the singer, taken by Studio Harcourt, famous for its celebrity photographs. In the upper left corner, the number "4" and the name "Mouloudji" appear in white handwritten letters, standing out against a pale blue background. The typography and graphic design are typical of French editions from the 1960s.

The front of the sleeve lists the included tracks: "Les enchaînés," "J’irai par le monde," "Si tu m’aimais" (from the film "Les grandes manœuvres"), and "Y a pas d’quoi." The Philips Minigroove 45 logo appears at the bottom left, accompanied by the mention "EP" and "Fabriqué en France." The overall visual evokes the sober elegance of productions from that era, with a clean design and expressive photography.

The record is presented in its original sleeve. The visible front of the sleeve shows some signs of wear, marks, and small stains, classic indications of a vintage item that has been used. No details of the back are visible in this image. The vinyl record itself is not shown; only the sleeve is visible.

This record is part of the tradition of French 45 RPM singles from the 1960s, highly valued for their compact format and sound quality specific to the medium high-fidelity microgroove technology of the time. The presence of the Harcourt logo enhances the heritage dimension of the object, as Harcourt is an iconic studio in the Parisian photographic landscape.

The sleeve highlights a retro style, with a light blue dominant and white and black inscriptions. The corners are slightly blunted, testifying to the record's age. The typography, the vintage Philips logo, and the overall aesthetic are faithful to French graphic design of the early 1960s.

Condition
