1977 - ROBERT CHARLEBOIS - SWING CHARLEBOIS SWING - 12" VINYL RECORD LP WHICH I THOUGHT HAD ONLY BEEN RELEASED IN CANADA - - BUT NOW I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THERE'S ALSO A SUPER RARE FRENCH PRESSING ON THE RCA RECORDS LABEL - INCLUDES FRANK ZAPPA PLAYING THE GUITAR ON THE SONG "PETROLEUM" - THE RECORD INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL DOUBLE SIDED PRINTED SONG LYRICS INSERT - MADE IN FRANCE AND PRESSED ON THE RCA RECORDS LABEL - KDL 6436- SEE THE PHOTOS WHICH JUST MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO FOOLISH YOUNG CONSUMERS WHO THOUGHT THAT THIS RECORD EITHER NEVER EXISTED OR DIDN'T CONTAIN FRANK ZAPPA - OK LARRY?
YES FOLKS, FOR A WHILE IT HAD ONLY BEEN A RUMOR THAT FRANK ZAPPA HAD PLAYED GUITAR ON THIS ALBUM. BUT HIS NAME IS CLEARLY PRINTED IN THE CREDITS UNDER THAT SONG ON THE BACK COVER. ALSO THE WAY THE RUMOR GOT STARTED BACK IN THE 80'S, WAS THAT SOMEBODY HAD HEARD THE SONG THAT HAD BEEN CIRCULATED ON SOME TAPE BY FRANK ZAPPA FANS WHO THOUGHT THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE FRANK BUT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T HAVE THE ACTUAL ALBUM COVER TO READ HIS NAME ON IT. YEAH, IT'S HIM AND HE EVEN DOES A SOLO IN THAT SONG. ALSO OF INTEREST IS THAT "PETROLEUM", IS THE ONLY SONG ON THIS ALBUM THAT ROBERT SINGS IN ENGLISH, THE OTHER SONGS ARE SUNG IN FRENCH. EVEN THE LYRICS OF THAT SONG ON THE INSERT ARE PRINTED IN ENGLISH, AND THE REST IN FRENCH. ALSO I'LL TELL YEZ, AFTER YOU HEAR THAT SONG YOU JUST MIGHT THINK THAT FRANK HAD EVEN WRITTEN IT. IT'S HIS STYLE OF WRITING AND A SUBJECT THAT I KNOW FRANK JUST MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN A SONG ABOUT IN 1977. BUT I THINK THAT ROBERT ACTUALLY WROTE THE LYRICS AND FRANK JUST LIKED THE SONG AND AGREED TO PLAY GUITAR. ALSO FOR THE LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME IT WAS THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MADE AND RELEASED IN CANADA, BUT HERE'S THE FRENCH PRESSING I RECENTLY FOUND AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER FIND AGAIN. OK LARRY?
FACE A CONTAINS: GARDE-MOI - JE L'SAVAIS - 13 ANS - LE TANGO A CARREAUX - MOM AND DAD.
FACE B CONTAINS: L'ETE PASSE - LE LETHE - LARME - RAPSODIE POUR VICTOR - PETROLEUM.
THE ALBUM COVER IS THAT KIND OF GLOSSY THIN COVER. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF RING WEAR BUT A LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION AND ALSO SOME BENDS NEAR A COUPLE OF THE CORNERS. THERE'S NO SEAM SPLITS BUT THE GLUE THAT HOLDS IT TOGETHER ON THE BOTTOM SEAM HAS STARTED TO DRY UP AND GET LOOSE. IT'S STILL HOLDING TOGETHER AND YOU COULD ALWAYS RE-APPLY SOME GLUE BETWEEN THE SEAM AND FLAP ON THE BOTTOM IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER. THERE'S NO RIPS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
NO TEARS ON THE INSERT JUST A LIGHT BEND NEAR THE UPPER LEFT CORNER AND MAYBE AN ULTRA LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION.
NICE HEAVY VINYL RECORD THAT PLAYS GREAT. VERY LITTLE IF ANY AND CERTAINLY NO UNUSUAL SURFACE NOISE FOR A 38 YEAR OLD VINYL RECORD. WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB 'TILL GOING VIRTUALLY BLIND, BASICALLY THE RECORD LOOKS BEAUTIFUL WITH SOME ULTRA LIGHT PAPER SCUFF / SURFACE MARKS. BUT NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO ANY DEEP GROOVE SCRATCHES.THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND JUST 'CAUSE WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. OK LARRY?
