Vartan hired a 56-piece symphony orchestra for the sessions, against the wishes of Garrie who "later bemoaned the detrimental effects of such lush orchestration on his delicate, uncommonly literate songs". The record was briefly released in France, but label boss Lucien Morisse committed suicide soon afterwards, and Garrie's album was not widely distributed. Original copies of the album became expensive, and it was not until 2005, when Rev-ola Records reissued it, that it was available on compact disc.
Vartan's decision to hire a large symphonic orchestra for the recording sessions led to Garrie's objections who "later expressed disappointment over the negative impact of such elaborate instrumentation on his sophisticated, highly literate compositions". The record had a brief release in France, but label head Lucien Morisse's death soon after prevented Garrie's album from being widely circulated. Original copies of the album became valuable and hard to find, and it wasn't until 2005, when Rev-ola Records reissued it, that it was made available on compact disc.
