(1977) Europa Jugend LP 117 010.4 12” 33rpm (Side 1) Notes: This Swiss Hörspiele (audio play) has a completely different German cast of performers than the earlier Europa West German release and the spoken text of the performances is in Swiss German (Schwiizerdütschi) not in Hochdeutsch. Notice the Swiss French influence on the German titles here; the use of the French preposition “de,” but “de’” and “d’” are not Hochdeutsch. The same picture cover was used as for this earlier 1966 Europa album (see above SWC-AB-DE4).

Notes: Kurt Stephan is a German vocalist, voice actor, scriptwriter and director of radio plays. He is also frequently mentioned as writer for children/youth play, as well as for adult material. This LP was initially issued with two slightly different covers, then later reissued on the Kolibri label and on an Austrian label with two additional quite different covers. All four releases have the same performers so it is assumed they are all identical.

Notes: A German Märchenhörspiele (fairy tale audio play) never heard. Side 2 of the LP has another tale, “Das Fliegende Pferd,” (The Flying Horse). Notice that the LP release is 7 minutes shorter than the later CD release, but the performers are the same, so it is assumed they are both from the same recording session. There were four different cave picture covers for these LP and CD releases (see Picture Covers – Imaginary Caves – Ali Baba Cave).
