Years ago I got hold of this wonderful double LP set called Chants de Marin Traditionelles des Cotes de France put out by Chasse-Maree of Douarnenez. I've hunted on the Net and found pictures of 17 (!) other titles put out by the same people but couldn't find anywhere where one could buy them. Can 'Catters help me? Thanks!

I bought three from amazon.ca, the Canadian wing of Amazon. They have French and French Canadian material not listed on Amazon.com.

The hard-bound "Chants de Marins a la decouverte d'une tradition vivante," 2003, includes a 73 minute cd with 25 tracks from earlier albums; there are three tracks of Hugill and three of John Wright; the rest are in French. It cost $46 Canadian.

The complete catalogue of books and cds is available from
LeChasse-Maree/ArMen
29177 DOUARNENEZ CEDEX
Tel. [phone]
Many Breton cds, other than chanteys, are available.

(Another thread has some of the same info, but I can't find it)

There is a Quebec source-
Arexcpo en Vendee, SPDTQ et CVPV au Quebec, but I don't know what the letters mean or how to get in touch with them.
Some societies and merchants refuse to answer requests in English from Canada, those from the U. S. may receive better treatment.

Hi, Jon -

Q's source, Amazon.ca, was where I got the 4 volumes of chantey books, softcover, that Chasse-Maree published, in case you'd like those as well as the Cds.
