One of those early pressings with songs I remember hearing from the living room valve radio late fifties long before rock, blues and merseybeat came in to my life. Charles Trenet's (1913-2001) carreer stretched from 1933-2000 and though he's still not fully recognized outside the french speaking world the melodies remain and are still covered in different languages. The song "La Mer" alone has become a standard in various genres and had up to his death been recorded more than 4000 times with over 70 million sold copies. That's the one I liked most as a kid together with the bouncy "Boum!". Non of those are on this record, but a few others I recall - e.g. "Paie Tes Dettes". This 10 inch has the exact right atmosphere for reminiscing. Sleeve design, label, the unflexible vinyl and the warm cozy audio. Don't know of any other releases, but guess all songs have been issued and reissued on multiple compilations in different formats through the years. (MFÄX*) (SYSÖ*) (GZÅ*)
