The first attempt took place between the end of March '78 & the beginning of April (exact date unknown), at Studio des Dames (1, rue de Stockholm, 75008 Paris.)
Session men unconfirmed, butrumoured to be André Ceccarelli (drums) & Janik Top (bass). According to Celmal Engel (Claude Engel's brother - see below), the session took place at Studio des Dames. However, no recording took placebecause Sid refused to work with the session men.
