Description
Vinyl records pressed in Lebanon are extremely rare and very hard to find items in any condition, produced for a few years in the late 1960's until forced to stop by the onset of civil war in 1975. All the international artists and bands were popular in Lebanon, and only a few copies survived the last thirty years in very good condition, including limited editions of multi-colored 7" singles and unique white label samples for radio and club DJs.

Titles : Jesus Christ - On me recherche
Format : 45 rpm vinyl single record
Country of Manufacture : Lebanon
Item Location : Lebanon
Label : Philips
Vinyl : VG++/VG+, Labels : EX, Sleeve : EX
This song was banned and withdrawn from the local lebanese market due to the pressures of an extremely backward thinking and stubborn politician who also used all his powers in 1962 to cancel Johnny's concert in Beirut during the height of the Twist craze... It's been told that the locoal clergy put pressure on the government to ban this record and Johnny from performing in Lebanon, because of the songs lyrics. The available records at the time were confiscated from the record shops, only a small quantity were sold.
Also worth mentioning the labels' error, Holliday instead of Hallyday.
