Vinyl Rika Zaraï Philips vintage photo sleeve 60s medium 45 rpm

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a photographic sleeve depicting Rika Zaraï, the famous French-Israeli singer, in a summery and joyful setting. The cover shows a color portrait of the artist, smiling, holding a large white hat with a red ribbon, against a light blue background. The words "rika zarai" appear prominently at the top of the sleeve, with a typical 1960s graphic style, in stylized red and blue letters.

The top left corner displays the Philips logo, an iconic record label of that period, as well as the reference "MÉDIUM 437.180 BE". On the right side, the tracklist is clearly visible: "Quand je faisais mon service militaire", "Je n’attends personne", "Avant toi", "Je t’aime". The turquoise Philips logo is also visible in the bottom right corner.

The item shows a matte cardboard sleeve with some visible signs of wear: folds, creases, and light marks on the front, particularly in the lower area. The corners are slightly marked, a sign of prolonged use and storage, typical of vintage vinyl records from this era. No record is visible in the photo, but the item is displayed standing on a wooden cabinet, in front of an old bookshelf.

The sleeve's design, the pastel color palette, and the photographic style are typical of French productions from the first half of the 1960s. The overall aesthetic immediately evokes the light and pop feel of those years, both in its layout and its choice of artistic portrait.

Did you know? Rika Zaraï enjoyed great success in France in the 1960s, thanks in particular to her covers of popular songs and her collaboration with the Philips record label. The "medium" 45 rpm format was very common for EPs (extended play) of that era, allowing four tracks to be featured on a single record.
