- suggests that a french version of "Play With Fire" was relased by an artist or group called:


Spectre, Le (1965) Note: In French, under title "Ce jeu-là".


Does anybody have more information on this? I looked everywhere and couldn't find any?


Best,

In DISCOGS, there is a compilation that includes that piece, but performed by Les Spectres...

There is interesting information here:

Un enregistrement mythique, un album oublié...

En 1967, Le Spectre est de retour au studio StereoSound de Montréal pour y enregistrer un album complet. 4 chansons sont finalisées : Ce jeu là, Je veux être à toi, Attention à toi et Pourquoi. Ce jeu là (reprise de Play with fire des Stones) et Attention à toi (reprise de Steppin' Stone des Monkees) révèlent toutes deux une énergie garage fort intéressante. Mais le groupe se sépare avant d’avoir terminé l’enregistrement de l’album complet. Les bandes maîtresses sont donc tablettées au studio et rapidement oubliées par le groupe.

Next step is finding the translator. The adaptation is listed at CMRRA, but without subauthor credits:

Same goes for liner notes of compilation:

So I had to settle for an unknown translator: Ce jeu-là
