Here's a unique record that I'm hoping maybe one of you can help me with. There appears to be an instrumental version of it out there somewhere that I'd like to find. This record was released in America, but I suspect it was recorded in France. If you look closely at the label below, you'll see a note about instrumental versions of the included songs being available on a different record. I doubt if that other record has the actual same recording without the vocals, it's more likely that it's just different recordings of the same songs, but you never know. This label appears to have specialized in recordings for educators, so they likely sold this to teachers who had French language classes to maybe liven up the lessons during the holiday season. It's a good little record no matter who it was aimed for and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. And if anyone can point me towards a copy of that other record, I'd love to feature it here at the blog some day. This is
Jacques Brison-
Noël En France (GMS Disc GMS-D 7020, Mono, 1959). Oh, almost forgot to mention, there was an insert in this LP with all the lyrics for all the songs, so you could sing along and teach the French words to your class. I scanned it into the package for your singing enjoyment.
