FRANCE

PC-ICP-ER3 France & Japan 1970 45: NEANDERTHAL MAN Perf: Hot Legs (Rock) Label: (France) Fontana 6007 019 (Japan) Fontana SFL-1290 Artist: Francisco GOYA (1746-1828) Title: Seated Giant, ca. 1818 Etching & aquatint, scraped New York; Metropolitan Museum

of Art Notes: A sketch of a nude giant with beard and bushy hair seated with his back turned as he looks over his right shoulder. This cover has been taken from an etching-aquatint by the celebrated Spanish painter Francisco Goya. The terrifying Colossus (sic) is shown “dwarfing the world, a magnificent and brutish figure who dominates the universe yet looks upon it without comprehension.” (Canaday 1959) Another art critic writes that the true title of this work is the Seated Giant and he describes it – “The giant sits, under a crescent moon, turned mostly away from us, his head gazing over one shoulder in our direction, as if alerted by some sound that we can’t hear, toward something that we can’t see.” (Kimmelman 2008) The French pic cover had the painting tinted gray-green, but the Japanese cover

copied the painting approximately and tinted the man and the crescent moon yellow.

_____________________________________ PC-ICP-ER4 France 1979 45: CAPITAINE CAVERNE Perf: Roger Carel, etc. (Spoken Word – Children’s) Label: CBS 10864 Artist: Hanna-Barbera Productions Notes: Covered with long body hair, Captain Cavern lived in an artificial cave that rode on top of a van, which was driven by one of the Teen Angels (Brenda, Lili, & Babette), a team of three girls who went around doing good. A ladder made with bones for rungs allowed the caveman to descend from his cave to the ground.

But he could equally well fly through the air towed along by his magic club and is shown doing just that on the back cover of this EP (on left). A bird pops out of the end of his club and talks to him. The three girls are walking along and one of them, Lili, points to Captain Cavern in the sky. The van with the artificial cave on the roof is in the distance. Captain Cavern is also shown on the back cover looking up at a cartoon mammoth and tyrannosaurus rex with a small lion standing by. The opening teaser on the EP remarks – “Capitaine Caverne !!! Trois drôles de filles exploraient une caverne au fin fond du Tibet quand elles se trouvèrent nez à nez avec un homme préhistorique : le

Capitaine Caverne. Il allait devenir le meilleur ami de Brenda, Lili et Babette et aujourd'hui il Les accompagne dans les

missions les plus périlleuses.“ (Anon. 2017) [Captain Cavern !!! Three funny girls explored a cave in the depths of Tibet when they came face to face with a prehistoric man: Captain Cavern. He became the best friend of Brenda, Lili and Babette and today he accompanies them on the most perilous missions.] Ref: Anon. 2017, Roger Carel, Capitaine Caverne EP, bide-et-musique Capitaine Caverne, encyclopedisque.fr Capitaine Caverne, Nos amis de la télé No. 5, mange-disque.tv

_____________________________________ PC-ICP-ER5 France 1982 LP: IL ETAIT UNE FOIS…L'HOMME – VOL.1 Perf: Roger Carel, Michel Papineschi, & Éric Legrand (Spoken Word – Children’s) Label: RCA Victor PL 37611 Artist: (Color) J. Barbaud, 1982 Notes: The front cover shows an assortment of characters from this children’s television cartoon series about prehistoric man – a young boy, an old man with long white beard who holds a torch, and three men with spears standing over a woman who is shaping a stone tool. Hanging from a vine, a monkey-man swings over the torch and burns his finger. Various dinosaurs are in the background and in the distance a volcano erupts. A huge red sun appears in the sky.

On the back cover is a grouping of 6 drawings from the series, one of which shows a prehistoric man in a cave dancing around, wielding his club. On the wall are paintings of a mammoth, reindeer, bison, and two human stick figures with spears. A flaming torch has been wedged in a crack in the wall. The other five drawings here illustrate other parts of the story. For details about the content of this disc see under Spoken Word – Children’s – Prehistory.

Notes: The bottom right front cover shows Naoum, a 10-year-old Magdalenian boy, playing his bone flute. Above, on the top right, is the ghost of the long-horned auroch. In the top center is a small inset photo of the second and third “Chinese horses” in Lascaux Cave. Another inset photo in the bottom right shows a modern boy, Julien, trying to play a bone whistle. This is from the 5-page back section of the book, which tells of present-day children’s class on prehistoric music and culture. The bottom left portion of the cover has a half-circle cutout that reveals the label of the CD, which is in a plastic pouch glued to the inside front cover. The light brown label of the CD has a silvered illustration of Naoum dancing on La dent du tigre (Tiger’s Tooth Rock) while playing his bone flute and rattling the shell collar. This is an irradiated reproduction of the illustration on page 8 of the book. Due to reflective surfaces it was not possible to present the figure of Naoum correctly in its entirety. For details about the content of this disc see under Spoken Word – Children’s – Prehistory.

IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS TAUTAVEL Perf: Max Chari, Margot Mongnot (Spoken Word – Children’s) Label: CRDP 2-86626-138-0 Artist: (Color) Jean-Claude Assalit Notes: A simplistic cartoon-style illustration of a huge wolf menacing a caveman family of six people, three carrying spears, who are traversing a mountain pass in the snow.

The same illustration is on the cover of the 12-page coloring book included inside with these two CDs, showing a different layout of the production credits and contents. The rear flanks of the wolf appear on the back cover of the CD. This same painting was used for the cover of the 32-page book, which compliments this recording by giving the complete transcription of the entire text. The label of CD 1 has a cartoon illustration of a kneeing caveman and the label of CD 2 has a cave woman carrying some raw meat.

Notes: This drawing shows a caveman band wearing animal skin outfits playing (bass, drums, & guitar) in front of a cave where a cavewoman stands in the entrance holding a candle. Everyone has their eyes closed. This illustration was first used on the 1960 British EP and later reused for a 1961 French EP of the Piltdown Men’s Gargantua EP, which did not include “McDonald’s Cave.” For the latter EP some color was added to the figures and the sky became blue. Then in 1998 this illustration was used a third time for the British compilation CD. The backside of the 1960 British EP has a variant of this illustration where a rock instrumental trio (drums, bass, & sax) is playing in front of the same cave. Instead of the crescent moon in the upper left there is a dinosaur peering over the small cave hill. To the left of the entrance is a sign reading “McD.” Ref: Anon. 2009, Piltdown Men, Rocky Productions The Piltdown Men, Discography, 45cat The Piltdown Men, Piltdown Rides Again EP, 45 Cat The Piltdown Men, Gargantua EP, Discogs Winfree, Martin 2017, The Piltdown Men, Under-appreciated Rock Bans & Artists, Google
