Note(s):

In the original releases, Pierre Arvay used the pseudonym of Jean-Claude Roc for the composition of the tracks 10, 17, 18 and 24, as well as for the orchestration and arrangements of the track 15.
Moreover, he was not credited as co-composer for the tracks 4 to 6, 11, 17 and 18: it was certainly an agreement, intended to highlight the composer-singer qualities of François Deguelt, Hélène Martin and Émile Elmi.
