Les mots d'amour n'ont pas de dimanche - Christine Minier

Of all the French entries at the Eurovision Song Contest during the Eighties, 'Les mots d'amour n'ont pas de dimanche' is perhaps the least wellknown - and the song with the longest title. Christine Minier, who performed the song, won the national final while she was working as a hairdresser. The song ended up in 14th place in a field of 22 competitors. 

The single, meanwhile, has become something of a rarity. According to Minier: “The record company guaranted a release only if I finished in the top 5". In the end, the single did get a limited release. As a result, it is rarely offered for sale, even online, and so finding a copy wasn't exactly easy.

Found: Discogs.com, received 1 April 2023
