The Obis for these Dinah Washington sets were the regular kind except they covered the whole of the back covers! Can't remember seeing others like these. But I never did a fixation on those artifacts! If they were there, fine. If they were not, just too bad!

Joyeux anniversaire Bertrand As befits the wise young man he is, Bertrand is celebrating his birthday in Paris

In France, they would probably have been reprimanded for not being careful enough. And been advised to go to a hotel next time!

The series was one of my very first venture into the world of CDs when they came out. A magnificient enterprise, worthy of Mosaic! From the seven sets, volume 1 and volume 2 have these triple booklets. All others have the single booklets in english. All the sets I have were Made in Japan, except volume 4 which bears the 'Made in W. Germany' stamper! Volume 5, 6 and 7 had Obis. Hope you have those! Otherwise your purchase was worthless

An account of the Capa D-Day coverage - which is part of Photo lore by now - can be read here Actually, Capa landed with the first wave, not the second, on Omaha Beach. His editor John G. Morris is still very much alive and well in Paris. Another D-Day photo lore is the story of AP photographer Marty Lederhandler who landed on Utah Beach on June 6. Like many photographers, he had been provided with two caged pigeons to fly his films back to England. The photographers and their pigeons had been stationed for two days inside boats before the landing because of bad weather. After landing in Normandy, Lederhandler released his pigeons and saw one of them - by now disoriented - flutter into the ski to turn east instead of west! The pigeon flew into German lines, the film was captured and Lederhandler's photos were published - with full credit - on German newspapers.
