Remark :

Reissue produced by Daniel Baumgarten. Digitally remastered from original master tapes using 20-bit analog to digital converter. The Henri Renaud Sextet (with R.Thomas) has recorded 8 songs and 4 were on the EP Henri Renaud Sextet ; only 2 among the 4 others were recovered and they are on this CD (#13,14).
