Adoro La Reine De Saba

condition (record/cover): NM / NM
Insert and obi included.
The Japanese twin-title album: Graciela Susana singing Adoro, the Armando Manzanero bolero that had been a Latin American hit, and La Reine de Saba, the Michel Laurent song that Paul Mauriat had already turned into a Japanese instrumental smash. The two sides of her early career on one sleeve, Spanish-language ballad on one, French chanson on the other, all with Mauriat's strings.
Express was a Toshiba imprint used for domestic pop, and the pressing is typical of Japanese EMI at the time, quiet and heavy. For a collector of Mauriat this is the missing link between the French albums and the Japanese phenomenon.
