19xx (Year of this Australian release is not indicated but the original worldwide releases were in 1966)
Australian release
Cover is in good condition, no tears, no writing, and the edges have only light wear from handling. Front cover, bottom edge has colour "bleaching" (purple has become a light Blue!) which I believe is a printing/registration issue, the rear cover also has this effect but to a much lesser extent.
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches on each side. I then played the ENTIRE album, both sides and every single track, and there are no issues with surface noise or clicks/pops on any track - very nice play.
New outer protective sleeve
All tracks are live performances
I did notice some slight variations in "levels", particularly when a song is sung in French e.g La Vie En Rose (latter part of the performance) - almost as though different live performances have been used and the recordings not "normalised" correctly, she did play at the Olympia Music Hall for 5 weeks so perhaps this is the case.
TRACKS: I Love Paris, C'Est Si Bon, Message To Michael, A House Is Not A Home (vocals in French), Walk On By, Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah - with Sacha Distel (vocals in both English & French), The Good Life (vocals in both English & French), La Vie En Rose (vocals in French), You'll Never Get To Heaven (vocals in French), What'd I Say
