In my continuing quest to bring you fine vinyl, I'm happy to offer the record(s) listed above.  (and of course, as usual, please check out my other listings to find things that you may need).
EXTREMELY rare and hard to come by, ESPECIALLY with the picture sleeve! Mfd in France, 1980.  Correct cat. # of CHS 2501. Ring around label with French text confirms a valid release, and if that's not enough proof for you, the stamped matrix will remove any/all doubts. Even in 1980, this was a tough piece to track down. 
For perspective...since 2014, there have only been EIGHT of these (French release w/picture sleeve) available for sale. That's about 1 per year. Don't wait...get this amazingly lovely copy! 
Side A: VG+++/EX--!  Superb. One area of extremely light skidding. Some light scratches in deadwax.  Label is pristine, no nicks or gouges. 
Side B: VG++. Just a wee bit less (and I do mean wee) than side A. One extra area of super light skidding. Could use a careful cleaning, and a bit of dusting. Label is also pristine. No sol/wol/stol/stal. 
Ephemera/various: The sleeve is not nearly as lovely as the record, but it looks quite stunning, considering its rarity and age. 
Front: Visible acute crease in the top left. Outer edge ring wear in lower right quadrant. One nick on spine and slightly dented lower left corner. Slight, small bends on mouth of sleeve with  commensurate miniscule paint nicks. Zero holes in sleeve.
Back: Inner edge ring visible. Various and sundry small creases (2-3 max).
As with all records, a careful dusting/cleaning may be required for optimum playback. 
FIVE DAY ONLY SALE. 
Please see and examine pictures, as they are part of the listing. If you would like additional pics, just let me know!
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, there are mail delays all over the US. Please allow for some  extra time for shipments to arrive. 
It is preferable that payment be made ASAP, however, due to various circumstances,  I'm allowing up to three days for payment to be made. Anything after that, and an unpaid item case automatically opens. If you don't plan on paying, then don't bid.
Shipping: 
I'm happy to combine shipping for orders! 
No matter how many 45's you purchase (in the lower 48 of the US), the shipping cost will never go over the current Media Mail rate (currently $3.11). 
I ship all of my (soon to be your ) items as such:
1. Paper sleeve (will match company of the record if available), poly outer sleeve.  2. Cardboard stiffeners for added package strength (in case of shipping delays for supplies, I will use 2 records for intra-US shipments).  3. A stiffener is placed under the record, then the next one is turned at 90° with the record in between. 4. Specialized mailing boxes are exclusively used for mailing 45rpm records (or LP's).
If you are getting more than one record from me, please wait until I send you an invoice. 
Any questions? Please feel free to contact me. I've an open-door policy! :) I WILL happily process returns if the item arrives damaged, or is significantly different than advertised. I will NOT process refunds due to buyer's remorse, I'm sorry to say. 
Pay however you'd like, but no cash/check/IMO, please. See my feedback and bid with confidence!
