Now his copy is too scratched to even play. Is there any way to get a CD copy? I would so love a copy of this to give to my dad and download on itunes for myself.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650669.post-21872177380362755092011-12-10T21:56:49.578-05:002011-12-10T21:56:49.578-05:00It looks like Franck Gerald was the writer of &quo...It looks like Franck Gerald was the writer of "Pour Noël".<br />"Joyeux" is spelled "Joyeux" in French !<br />This album is not the original. The recording was made by Ducretet-Thomson in 1956 and issued as "Les Djinns chantent Noël".<br />If the band had disbanded in July 1964, I remember having seen their ghosts at the French Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal. There was a group of girls, explicitly called "Les Djinns" in a French Radio studio (within the pavilion) singing songs available on record, backed by an unseen orchestra. They were behind large windows. <br />Knowing the whole story, they were probably local girls lipsing the recording in the background !

I've not encountered it elsewhere. Two -- I always thought it was spelled "Joyeux" Noel, but the picture of the (presumably French) album cover says "Joyeaux." ?????Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650669.post-50161580021667169112008-01-02T15:50:00.000-05:002008-01-02T15:50:00.000-05:00Searching Santa - Read the comment above yours!Cap...Searching Santa - Read the comment above yours!<BR/><BR/><BR/>CaptCaptainOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12030675074503708747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650669.post-17385646343091753372007-12-21T12:11:00.000-05:002007-12-21T12:11:00.000-05:00Please tell me how to buy a copy of this record!

Even this Christmas record is, at best, marginal to me. But it had a really neat cover. :)Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.com
