Hmm-m-m-m! It does seem logical (if not inevitable?!) that some enterprising
Quebecois would create a Francophone version of the MT 78's...?! One then
wonders if the relevant tracks were French-language versions of then-current
hits...or (if there WERE such?!) remakes of the "Quebec Top 40" insofar as
such a thing existed?!
