April 10, 1952 (4-16 to 4-18) Comes in a 4-CDs SIFOTY case, inserted in a cartboard slip case ℗ 2005 Membran Music Ltd. © 2005 Membran International GmbH Total time CD 1: 57:31 - CD 2: 55:22 - CD 3: 57:25 - CD 4: 52:02 24 Bit / 96 KHZ High-End mastering 'Don Bays' erroneously stated on slip case's spine. Not sure about François Llenas , stated as 'Ilenas' on "Trop Jeune / Too Young" (# 3-15) instead of usual Sylvia Dee for lyrics, but it could make sense. "Infidèle / Cry" (# 4-1) was written by Churchill Kohlman and not by Churchill and Kohlman as stated on release. Lew Brown indeed, and not Les Brown, who's stated as co-writer of "That Old Feeling" (# 4-17).
