[78-L] Question for you folks...?!

[David Lennick]

It's contemporary..French EMI recordings were regularly issued on Canadian 
Angel 78s after the connection with Columbia was severed. I have many by Edith 
Piaf, Les Compagnons de la Chanson, Charles Trenet and others. CL 9371-21 is a 
Trenet side recorded February 1953 so CL9805/9806 could be from 1954 or '55.

And those things are pressed on nice solid vinyl, too!
