Back sleeve notes:
This record is intended for parents and children alike. It is about the difficult subject of the young people initiation to the "mystery of life".
The first side is intended for the youngest. This is why it is presented in the form of a story.
The second side is intented for the oldest. And thus is quite different, approaching the subject in a straightforward way.
NOTE :
This lp has a very interesting story. It was produced by Paul Touvier, who is mostly famous for having collaborated with the Nazis during WWII's occupation of France. He was later judged and condemned to death sentence but he escaped and hided in many catholic congragations. To make this record, Paul Touvier used his wife's name (Paul Berthet) and sympathised with famous french singer Jacques Brel in 1959, who discovered only many years later who he was. Jacques Brel helped him later in having this lp distributed by Philips in 1967. His death sentence was abndonned the same year. This lp had a good acclaim in the french press when it came out, nobody knowing that Paul Berthet was in fact Paul Touvier. Paul Touvier was finally emprisonnend and sentenced to life reclusion in 1994. He died in 1996. He is the only french man to have ever been convinced of crime against humanity.
