[78-L] Charles Aznavour

[Kristjan Saag]

Seems Aznavours first four Polydor 78's were all recorded in Paris 1948 
for French Polydor, before he left for America to join the Piaf tour.
The Canadian Quality/ Polydor disc P004 was a re-release of one of those 
78's.
The Canadian London's were recorded in late 1949 and another two titles 
recorded in Montreal on the same occasion, previously unissued, have 
shown up on a CD recently.

That should settle the issue about Aznavour's first recording, being the 
one for Swiss Radio 1947, and his first commercial 78 being the French 
Polydor "Voyez, c'est le printemps"/ "J'ai bu".
