RÉCITAL CHARLES TRENET AU THÉATRE DE L'ÉTOILE - PARIS 1952 FS 1004 (-52) FRANCE

An LP I feel connected to, even if I don't get the lyrics or click with the genre itself. An early fifties live performance by then much popular French artist Charles Trenet, consisting of chansons with spoken intros accompanied by piano only. Right on and apparently taken by one mike directly to a tape recorder. Audio loud and rather damp, but good considering the circumstances. For me a travel sixtyfour years back in time to a theatre in Paris, where not only the artist and pianist but also most of the appauding and laughing audience are long gone by now. A kind of audible adventure ready whenever I want. And the 78 rpm shape package makes it even better - 10 inch with old design label on thick, heavy and unflexible vinyl. The cover is glossy flip/back having slightly submerged fonts and picture lines. It came as part one of a double issue, part two (FS 1005) released at about the same time.
