But is Mona a re-recording or the original EP? Since the EP is 100+ Euro on ebay, I might as well buy the CD if it is the orignial EP transferred to CD.
As I had already written two weeks ago, the really annoying thing is that the content of the 1966 MONA EP - which I have myself - has only been recreated through electronic sampling which is more or less a joke:
"What is even worse is that apparently Disques Cinémusique could not even afford to license the rights for the original Barclay EP master of the lovely MONA, L´ÉTOILE SANS NOM from 1966. If MONA had been from the early 60s, it would of course have been public domain now in Canada (as well as in Europe) and they could have ripped it quite easily from the EP in the same way they do it all the time now with records from that time, but with 1966 this is legally not possible anymore."

That the mastertapes of LE BESTIAIRE DE L´AMOUR don´t exist in the Delerue estate is just a wild guess by Clément Fontaine and nothing more.

The collection´s name is not BNP, but BnF as it comes from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (therefore the abbreviation: BnF). The Bibliothèque Nationale de France has made digitally available thousands of French records from 1900 till 1962 throughout the last few years. But nothing from 1963 onwards anymore:

So all French records from 1963 and 1964 can still be exploited for free by Disques Cinémusique in Canada and they are also not available via the BnF collection.
As Clément Fontaine writes on the DCM website:
"In 2015, the Canadian law regarding the protection right on music recordings was extended to 70 years, in accordance with the European rules. We remain free to use recordings produced before January 1st 1965, regardless of whether other labels have released them. After this date, an agreement with the recordings owners is necessary. "

I give the information because no one here, even Maleficio speaks about this new release : LE BESTIAIRE D'AMOUR/MONA published for the first time on CD by label Cine Musique.
Score re-recorded, not the genuine soundtrack, because of the lack of sound quality in the master tapes.
It seems that you have misunderstood a few things. Disques Cinémusique hasn´t had any access to master tapes of this score. So how should they know at all that there is "a lack of sound quality in the master tapes"? They don´t even know if any master tapes exist or not!

Yes, Cinemusique wrote in its website that the score from Le bestiaire d'amour "have never been released on record, presumably because of the lack of quality master tapes" .
Anyway, the result is that it wasn't available, maybe because the label didn't wish to contact Colette Delerue.
As far as I know, Colette Delerue doesn´t collaborate at all with Disques Cinémusique. Even about 15 years ago there were some problems when Clément Fontaine asked her for such a colalboration and she refused it.
So it still may be - who knows? - that Mrs. Delerue has original tapes of LE BESTIAIRE DE L ´AMOUR, but she certainly doesn´t want to give them to Disques Cinémusique. Music Box would be the label which could release the original recording in collaboration with her if those recordings exist.

But the EP of Mona exists! I will wait for that...
And the MONA muisic exists in the French Sidomusic catalogue:
http://www.sidomusic.com/en/musiques_films.php?alpha=m
It is strange that throughout all these years Stéphane Lerouge - who has always closely collaborated with Sidomusic- has still not released the score as part of one of the Delerue editions of Universal Music France.

Here is an English translation of the track titles . Usually the Disques Cinemusique releases have bilingual notes and track titles . This one did not for some reason. (The notes are in English and French, just the track titles are French only.)
Feel free to make any corrections or offer suggestions as you see fit. My French is not that good.
