Paris: Marion Goodman, n.d. (2017)
Standard 7inch single, 45 rpm in card sleeve. The music consists of two French lullabies (Il Était Un Petit Navire and Sainte-Elizabeth) and a traditional song from Bretagne (Fais Dodo Colas Mon Petit Frère).
This edition was probably made up from unused records from the deluxe edition of Boltanski's 1991 release "Livres", in which 60 copies of the record was included. This later re-release is one of 20 numbered copies each with a unique cover (an original photograph tipped onto the card sleeve. This version is unopened and unplayed - and in original plastic wrapping (hence the poor quality of the image here).
