I was surprised to read recently that JW's album was translated into various different languages.
apparently anthony Quinn was the narrator for the Spanish one and curt jurgens did the German one.
I never knew that!

I already have the german version. Curd Jürgens as narrator is quite atmospheric. The other voices are cute too.The 1996 german recording is in dolby surround.
But I never heard the spanish version !!!
Is anybody out there who´s the lucky owner of that version ?

Do they have a French version too? It would be cool to hear them speak en Francais.

No French version?

No . . . It was never done in French when released, and if it were to be done it would mean going back into the studio and getting someone to 'freshly' narrate the album in French.

I think, if they were to do a french version, Jean Reno would be perfect for the Journalist.

There was a spanish language version narrated by Anthony Quinn. In fact, it apparently reached number 1 in the Spanish charts while the English version only reached number 7.
I can't find any details on the web about it though I'm afraid.
Anyway, the spanish version is going to be re-released too.
