which 3 do you mean ? magic slow, thierry graal - le vagabond de histoire ? or does she have two more solo lp's

Purple Peak Records said...

Hi...

Here's the 3 remaining LPs that I have not heard. These were all confirmed via a personal e-mail exchange with Jacqueline herself. Unfortunately she didn't have copies either!

So, yes, Magic Slows is one (possibly under the name Marie Mennesson). And two later solo albums.

Laurence Vanay (Marie Mennesson) - Magic Slows. 1975 SPF.

Laurence Vanay - Les Soleils de la Vie. 1978 ???

Laurence Vanay - La Petite Fenetre. 1979 ???

Any help or information is very much appreciated!

Hi Tom

thanks a lot for the info, was unaware of the two other lp's, im very interested in hearing them too..i have the thierry graal lp where she plays keyboards, but it's more of a chanson, folkrock album..

I do have a Laurence Vanay Best of from 2000 where tracks from her "lost albums" are featured if you are interested.
She also scored the soundtrack for "Glaciers Interdits" in 1976

That's very interesting about the soundtrack, I didn't know that.

I do know the comp you're talking about. Do you know which tracks were not from Galaxies and Gateway? If I remember right, the 'La Petite Fenetre' song is on there. The guy in France who helped negotiate these reissues sent me a copy of that one track. Any others?

Thanks as always for the comments!
