Les 4 meilleures chansons du Grand Prix Eurovision 65 - Sonia Christie, Marie-Chantal, Eric Richard

This EP is an obvious attempt to profit from the popularity of the Eurovision Song Contest during the mid-Sixties. Released on the Week-end label (never heard of this one!), three different artists perform the songs of Luxembourg, UK, France and Monaco. Remarkably, the UK entry is also performed in French and translated from 'I Belong' to 'Te Voila'. 

This single is the Belgian pressing of an EP that was released in France as 'Premiers prix de l'Eurovision', with the same tracks on it. Although Sonia Christie and Marie-Chantal never released any other tracks, Eric Richard actually had an interesting career, performing on a handful of singles between 1961 and 1965.
