Succes-Musette Symco Records (France) Musical stylings of one Luc Harvet son Accordeon et son Ensemble. Kind of a beatnik vibe here. I dig her red garter and checkered scarf and bangs! Lucky Luc.

Dennis Lotis sings “How About You?” Nixa Records (England) I never heard of this guy before but thought it was a cool cover. Seems he had a long successful career on the other side of the pond as a concert performer, recording star and in films. Listening to a few cuts here, I can’t say I’d put him on before a dozen other more famous crooners.

Tony pulled this one out from right under my nose at the last WFMU record fair. What a find! Wins for most category tags. Creepy and wonderful. Best Canadian cover I’ve ever seen. “Pour Tout Le Monde” Les Ventrillaires Montagnard Records This is a Canadian comedy label that put out lots of “adult” comedy records – like our Dooto or Adam and FAX labels in the states.
