Jean Sablon on RCA Victor

I've been presenting early LPs by the legendary French crooner Jean Sablon now and then, and this is the third such post - also the third cover to feature the same photo of Sablon.

But while the first two albums were on the American Decca label, this is an RCA Victor product from the early 1950s, a double-EP version of a 10-inch LP.

The LP gives no information about recording dates or conductor identities. Sablon first recorded some of these songs in the 1930s for Pathé Marconi; however, these versions are from his time at Victor from 1947-49 and were first issued (or intended) as singles, I believe.

I've been able to determine a few of the bandleaders involved: "J'ai Te Main" is with Claude Thornhill and "Vous Qui Passez Sans Me Voir" and "Insensiblement" are with Toots Camarata.

These RCA recordings are just as good as the Decca sides from earlier in the 40s, and the sound is excellent.

Later on, I'll complete our look at Sablon's American records with his 1952 Capitol LP.
