The songs which stuck in my head\nwere \u003cem\u003eVous Qui Passez Sans Me Voir\u003c\/em\u003e, winner of the 1937 Paris Gold Medal for disc of the year, and its flip side, \u003cem\u003eLa Chanson Des Rues\u003c\/em\u003e, both of which feature here.\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eI later tracked down a large number of Sablon discs, including the rare 1952 LP \"\u003cem\u003eSongs of a Boulevardier\u003c\/em\u003e\",\nan American release which seems to have been ignored by the many\ncompilations of Sablon's material since (a possible sighting of the\nfinal track, \u003cem\u003eAve Maria No Morro,\u003c\/em\u003e on a nicely presented but poor-sounding Universal double-CD, \u003cem\u003eThe French Troubadour, \u003c\/em\u003eis both mis-labelled and mis-credited). The songs on this LP form the first part of this issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eWe then head back to the 1930's and Sablon's pre-war\nheyday. Rather than pull together the usual mish-mash of hits I wanted\nto concentrate on two very important parts of Sablon's work. First we\nhave the small ensemble material with Django Reinhardt, who Sablon had\nhelped to get his first Paris booking, and the earliest recordings of\nwhich pre-date the formation of Reinhardt's famous and influential \u003cem\u003eQuintette du Hot Club de France. \u003c\/em\u003eIn\nthe tracks selected here we hear Reinhardt both as soloist and\naccompanist as the arrangements demand, his distinctive style always\nclearly evident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eThe other key player in the Sablon success story was\nWal-Berg, an immigrant of Russian-Jewish descent, born in\nConstantinople, and one of the foremost arranger-conductors of the era. A\nmusician as equally at home with Jazz and Swing music as he was with\nthe Classical canon, his employment with Sablon's record company in the\nmid-late 1930's ensured absolutely top-rate arrangements, as heard to\ngreat effect on our sample recording \u003cem\u003eParis Tu N'as Pas Changé\u003c\/em\u003e, which brilliantly evokes in music and scoring the train journey into the city for the 40 seconds of the song's introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eFor the first time, these 1930's selections can be heard\nin sound quality that does them real justice - so many of the re-issues\ncurrently available of Sablon's material from this era are\ncharacterised by a thick, heavy and dull sound which entirely\nmisrepresents the actual recordings. Thanks to the use of XR remastering\nwe can finally hear the songs as they should have sounded!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eQue Les Temps Me Dure \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLe Fiacre (The Cab Song) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eC'est La Vraie De Vraie \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePretty Bride (Tire l'Aiguille) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFavela\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMy Heart's At Ease (Le Couer Tranquille) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCome Back (Reviens) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAve Maria No Morro \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eParce Que Je Vous Aime \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSi J'Aime Suzy \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJe Suis Sex Appeal \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJe Sais Que Vous Etes Jolie \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePar Correspondance \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUn Amour Comme Le Nôtre\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCette Chanson Est Pour Vous Madame\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRendez-Vous Sous La Pluie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCes Petits Choses\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVous Qui Passes Sans Me Voir\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLa Chanson Des Rues\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIl Ne Faut Pas Briser Un Rève\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSur Le Pont d'Avignon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLa Valse Au Village\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJe Tire Ma Reverence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eParis Tu N'as Pas Changé \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style42\"\u003e1-8: From the LP Songs of a Boulevardier \u003cbr\u003e 9-16: With Django Reinhardt et al \u003cbr\u003e 17-24: With Wal-Berg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"bodysmallarialblue\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\n\n1-8: Transferred from 10\" LP Capitol L344, date-stamped 6\/52\u003cbr\u003e Vocal Group \u0026amp;
