These records were released in France between 1962 and 1964. When I began listening and researching them they led to the 9th arrondissement of Paris. On the corner of rue Drouot and Boulevard Montmartre, above the Café d'Angleterre, I found France’s ‘Temple of Rock’. It was called Golf Drouot, and hosted such great names as Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell, Gene Vincent, the Who and David Bowie.

We have around three to six dreams each night and around 95% of these dreams are forgotten the following morning. When we dream, our thoughts manifest themselves in symbols and metaphors. If we remember our dreams, we can interpret them in our waking hours. This week, we explore the twilight world of dreams and nightmares with this joblot of 7” records from around the world.

Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is the only one to have a predominantly French-speaking population. In 2006, the House of Commons of Canada passed a symbolic motion recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada". Most of the records this week come from the vinyl library at CKVL Radio, that was located in Montreal, Quebec.

It was a voyage of discovery, revealing stories about the culture, history, geography and music of the continent. I hope you’ll join me in learning a little more about South Africa and Lesotho, through their music, places and faces.
