Unique material to this release

[edit]

In almost all cases, the masters provided by Universal France have been used as the source; in some cases, a digital transfer of the original vinyl records was necessary. It is worth noting that most of the international recordings are making their first appearance on CD, remastered for this release. All the masters from the 1960s have been remastered and restored for this box set. The album Qui? from 1963 is presented for the very first time in stereo. As for the international catalog, many previously unreleased tracks have been discovered in the original masters. The multitracks of the previously unreleased posthumous album I Will Warm Your Heart were mixed in May 2023 at Tonehouse studio in Paris, making this album the 92nd and final studio album of Charles Aznavour.
