Vanessa Paradis debuted in 1987 with 'Joe le taxi', and then followed it up with 'Manolo Manolete', a song about a Spanish bullfighter. The single only managed to reach number 10 in the French singles chart, but flopped everywhere else.
As a result, the track did not appear on her debut album 'M&J', released in 1988.
My collection: 7" single no. 4281
Found: Record fair, Utrecht, November 21, 2009

It was the subject matter that meant it was excluded from M&J, actually.
ReplyDeleteIt was the subject matter that meant it was left off, in fact.
