Les Aventures De L'Ours Colargol : Colargol Et Le Cerf-Volant / Colargol Sur La Lune

Released in 1964 on the Philips label, this 45 RPM record features stories from the popular children's character L'Ours Colargol. Created by French author Olga Pochtareva and composer Mireille Hartuch—credited here as Mireille—the character debuted in the 1950s before achieving broader fame through television adaptations in the 1970s. This specific release, catalog number E 1 R 0049, captures the early, charming audio narratives of Colargol's whimsical travels.

The record reflects the mid-century tradition of French children’s audio storytelling, where musical compositions and vocal performances were central to character branding. Mireille, a renowned singer and songwriter, brought a distinct melodic quality to the series that helped define the character's personality for a young audience. These early pressings are now sought after by collectors of French media history for their nostalgic value and the illustrative cover art characteristic of the era's children's record sleeves.
