Description
Eurovision fans and Collectors - you know how rare this record is ! The fabulous first ever entries from Luxembourg in the first ever Eurovision Song Contest of 1956! The two entries were sung by the beautiful Michelle Arnaud.
"Ne crois pas" ("Don't believe") was the first Luxembourg entry in the Eurovision Song Contest (the rules of this Contest allowed two entries per country).
The song is an up-tempo number, with Arnaud telling a friend or lover that the fact that he looks good at the moment is largely meaningless. She tells him that his looks are due to his youth and that he will lose his hair, gain weight and possibly lose his teeth as well. They don't write then like this now!
The song was performed sixth on the night. As the scoreboard of this Contest has never been released, definitive statements about scores and positions are impossible to make, however the song did not win !
Neither did Michelle's second effort;-
"Les amants de minuit" ( "Midnight lovers")
The song is in the chanson style popular in the early years of the Contest. Arnaud describes the meeting of two "midnight lovers", and sings that only the night knows what passes between them before they return to their normal lives in the morning. It didn't win either! The song was performed thirteenth on the night
Two other songs are included on the EP.Les Amours Oubliees and Les Mots qu'on vous dit a l'oreille.
For a vintage disc I would say cover excellent - record very good. Pure Eurovision history!
