[SCA-Dance] Music for Petite Rose, The Health, Glory of the West?

[Charlene C]

I was just about to re-post this link. Their version is slower than
Country Capers (1:52 vs 1:26 in length). It's a French LP from 1978. I
can't find where it was ever released on CD, but the keywords are so
common searching is difficult.
