I finally have a good question for this thread.

For the Moi Lolita remixes vinyl, Alizée engraved a short message on each side of the master disc, which was then pressed onto every final copy.

This is what it says on Side A.



What does it say on Side B?

I don't have clue 1, but I have a question.

What do you mean "final" copy? Was it not on every copy?

Oh, that's what I meant. Every copy sold has this inscribed on it. I just said "final" because in the process of record manufacturing, there are other "copies" made from the master which are then used for pressing, so the vinyl the consumer gets is the "final" copy in the process.

Antares I only have the Gold ML vinyl, it's still sealed and I'm not gonna open it..... do you think it might have those inscriptions on it aswell, or are they only on the remix version?

Yep, I checked and it's on every version I own, including the LEs. A little bit of some clever googling should be able to find the answer, though.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Side A says: "ENCORE LOLO!!," and Side B says "SANS OUBLIER MIMI!!"

The translation of Side B means, "Not to mention cute!!"

Side A is a little harder to decode, as "lolo" could mean a couple different things. "Lolo" is French slang for "breasts," which doesn't make sense to me in this context, and I have a hard time imagining Alizée inscribing something so outwardly vulgar on the disc. But "lolo" also means "crazy" in Hawaiian, which seems to fit a lot better in this context since the message would say, "Still crazy! Not to mention cute!" I don't know why Alizée would be using a Hawaiian word, though... maybe because she's crazy!

Credit goes to Jacotey for this theory:

Interestingly, a smilar reference to "LOLO" is found on Mylène Farmer's "L'instant X Dance Remixes" vinyl, which bears the inscription, "LOLO THE BEST." Seeing as the music was written by Laurent Boutonnat in both cases, "Lolo" is likely a reference to him. Likewise, "Mimi" would likely be a reference to Mylène Farmer, as she was the one who wrote the lyrics for Moi Lolita.

So the appropriate translation would then be, "Encore Lolo (Lauren)!," "Not to mention Mimi (Mylène)!"
