He fell in love with the music instantly,
but he had to know
the backstory behind it.
He didn't know where it came from.
He knew the artist,
at the time of the recording,
was living in Montreal,
so for months, he tried to track him down.
He even found Noël's business card
inside the record sleeve.
That's how DIY Henri-Pierre Noël was.
So he found the card
inside the record sleeve --
of course he did try to call,
but after 30 years,
the number didn't work anymore.
So it was only in Belgium,
where the artist had once lived,
that Kobal managed to find someone
that knew the artist personally
and gave him the contact.
So when he finally
sat down with the artist,
he made him a promise to someday
find a way to get the album rereleased.
He then arranged for a British label
called Wah Wah 45s
