Citations Ininterrompues - Café Creme

Café Creme was a French group formed by Jacky Arconte, Daniel Martigny, Frédéric Grenier and Denis Hekimian. They became popular in the second half of the Seventies with cover versions of Beatles songs. 

'Citations Ininterrompues' was released internationally as 'Unlimited Citations'. It was basically a long medley of Beatles songs, released on 7" and 12" singles in various countries. The Japanese sleeve was markedly different from the other sleeves, with this colourful illustration.

Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

For a few years I have been checking out this double 7" single package of the Beatles called 'Magical Mystery Tour'. Most people know the tracks on this collection of songs, but the packaging is what makes the difference here. It's essentially a booklet of photographs with two EP's thrown in for extra enjoyment. It is the soundtrack to the Beatles television film of the same name. 

I got a little frustrated when I saw a few copies at the record fair in Den Bosch last month, and they were all tattered and torn - and dealers were still asking high prices for it! So I gave up, and I ordered a copy online. Luckily, this one is in "very good plus" shape, and when I received it, it exceeded my expectations. I don't really collect Beatles singles - you've got to draw the line somewhere - but this one is simply too good to let it pass.
