Bernard C. & Prince Emile De Ly De Magneville ‎ - Les Chants Révolutionnaires/Les Jardins D'Espagne

A split cassette recorded in 1982, released a year later on Illusion Productions, by two theatrical French weirdos from within the DDAA orbit. Bernard C's side features his lopsided song-like wanderings, some of which make half-hearted nods toward melody and others (or, some within a single track) lose whatever form they started out with and disintegrate into little fragments of filthy iron dust. Cough! Prince Emile, in his/their (?) only recorded appearance, sound like a classical chamber group that fell into a tree chipper then got out the other side and attempted to play viola with the remnants of their shredded stumps. There is a big what-the-heck-is-this-supposed-to-be factor to this tape, so if you think squinting your eyes and glancing around nervously is fun, then prepare for some entertainment. Everybody else, just wait a minute. Your bus will arrive shortly.

I have all of those. Aventures En Afrique is on bandcamp so you'll probably have to find another way to ask.

Thank you for information, but I noticed that the Bancamp version of "Aventures En Afrique" contains only two songs ("Reine Africaine" and "Guawa (2)"). The Discogs version [http://www.discogs.com/DDAA-Aventures-En-Afrique/release/715473] contains five songs:
Tracklist
A1 Reine Africaine
A2 Radio Tombouctou
A3 Guawa (1)
B1 Guawa (2)
B2 Motorrad In Africa
I'm looking for this version.
If you have "Front De L'Est" and "La Société Des Timides À La Parade Des Oiseaux" [7''], can you share them, please [with the 3 missing songs from "Aventures En Afrique"]?
All the best.

The Bandcamp version only shows edits of two tracks, I would imagine that if you pay for it you get the full deal.
