Blau Wie Das Meer (L'amour Est Bleu) / Nie Mehr Scheint Mir Die Sonne So Hell (Le Soleil À Quitté Ma Maison)

Released in 1967 on the Philips label, this single features the German-language interpretation of the André Popp composition L'amour est bleu. Vicky Leandros recorded this version shortly after the song gained international traction following its submission to the Eurovision Song Contest that same year. It serves as a quintessential example of the 1960s Europop sound, characterized by lush arrangements and the dramatic, emotive vocal delivery that would come to define Leandros's career.

The record reflects the period's trend of translating successful French pop tracks for the German-speaking market, a common strategy for Philips to maximize the reach of European chanson. The sleeve design adheres to the minimalist aesthetic typical of late-sixties European pressings, prioritizing a bold photographic portrait of the artist. Upon its release, it was received as a solid addition to Leandros's growing discography, solidifying her reputation as a versatile performer capable of bridging classical training with contemporary pop trends.
