Paris: Les Industries Musicales et Electriques Pathe Marconi, (1961). Signed by Piaf on an affixed "Bruxelles Music Bar" label from an April 1961 appearance. "No, I have no regrets" was composed by Charles Dumont, with lyrics by Michel Vaucaire, in 1956. Piaf dedicated her first recording of the song to the French Foreign Legion. In 1960 France was fighting the Algerian War and their 1st Foreign Parachute Regiment adopted the song when they fell to Algeria's civilian leadership. The Regiment's leaders were arrested and tried however non-commissioned officers, corporals, and Legionnaires were assigned to other Foreign Legion formations. They left the barracks singing the song which has become part of the French Foreign Legion heritage and is sung when they are on parade. Fine condition, scarce in this format. Vintage 45 rpm LP (ESRF 1312), coated photographic sleeve. Fine condition, scarce in this format.
