    SLEEVE NOTES:

A Side: Tombe la Neige:
    This is a work by Salvatore Adamo, who is very popular in Japan with hits such as "Saint Toi Ma Mie" and "En blues jeans et blouson d'cuir." It was a hit in France in '63, written and composed by himself. It is always sung in Japanese performances and was a hit in Japan from '70 to '71.

B Side: La Foule:
    This song is famous in the repertoire of Edith Piaf, the great French chanson singer. The original is a South American Peruvian waltz, written by Enrique Dizeo and composed by Ángel Cabral, which was published in 1953 and became popular in Argentina. Piaf sang it at the Théâtre Olympique in Paris in February 1958, with French lyrics by Michel Rivegauche. Lefebvre's performance is full of tension and makes the most of the original tune.
