- L'ALBANIE MYSTERIEUSE - MYSTERIOUS ALBANIA - Marcel Cellier Collection, Disques Pierre Verany (France) licenses from Disques Cellier, (Switzerland). CD: PV 750010 (originally put out as L'ALBANIE FOLKLORIQUE on vinyl, Cellier INT 147.602). This is a 1995 re-release of Cellier's 1979 release. (I guess Cellier likes to cash in on the term "Mystere" which brought him fame (Les Voix Bulgares etc....) Very nice cuts (with little information) mostly from Radio Tirana archives.

This was part of a "Yugoslavia" (Macedonia) series (along with East Serbian Vlach LP - Les Bougies du Paradis). The album was recorded by H. Vuystelke (who also released his 5-CD Bulgarian collection on Le Chant du Monde). Tracks were recorded in the villages of Arvat/Krani, Leskoec, Zagracani, Veleshta, Radolishta in the Prespa and Ohrid areas. Mostly Tosk polyphonic songs and a few instrumental dance tunes. Similar to some of Bob Leibman's great recordings (SELO-LP-2, 1974)
