Correspondent Les Cook in the UK came across an odd record, a label I've 
not seen before, and website recently.

Discolux 259 (pictures 3 & 4) seems to have been reissued from 2 Grey 
Gull originals, judging by the matrix numbers. "Reves" (translation: 
"Dreams") has been positively identified as from GG 1840B, the other 
side "Doux Baisers Hawaien" (translation: "Sweet Hawaiian Kisses") shows 
up nowhere on any known Grey Gull issue, but the matrix number is one of 
theirs. Both sides are instrumentals.
Anyone have the original of "Sweet Hawaiian Kisses" to verify it was 
issued?
And why was there only one Grey Gull reissue among all the labels 
pictured? Maybe it was a dub?
