“War on war” – declared in the confident capitals of Jackson, on the sleeve of a pacifist chanson recorded by Jo Akepsimas (b. 1940) and Bernard Haillant (1944–2002). The two French singers were both members of the group Crëche. Their names are added in Folio, Bauer’s Helvetica competitor that was known in France under the name Caravelle. Like Jackson, it was available from Mecanorma. Record collector oopswhoops mentions:
French Christian funk on B-side. “Bienheureux le pauvre” was compiled on Alleluia garantie, l’évangile selon Saint-Pop.
