I'm not positive, but I think the linked recording of "Avec les Anges," which became, admittedly with the melody altered a bit, "Our Language of Love" is from the 45 EP Colette Renard, the original Paris Irma, recorded in 1956 or possibly early 1957.

You are correct - amazing how little of the music from the French original made it, unscathed to the London production. And at least 4 cut songs. But it sounds so much better in French. Just discovered the Opera-Comique revival recording.

I've got that recording - I have to unpack a CD player so I can check it out!
