[unwelcome-ephestion]

Possibly the funniest version of the ABC Cafe ever recorded is the original French concept album of Les Misérables back in 1980. About 30 seconds in you'll hear Enjolras come in, where we recognise "Lamarque est mort", or "Lamarque is dead", which we expect to be sung in the style of a funeral march. This version? Oh no. Presumably to capture a radical sound (for 1980), Enjolras is infused with a kind of groove disco! It's probably better that this was abandoned for a more serious sound in keeping with the epic tone of the show, but it's a great relic of the show in its pre fame days - and shows just how much orchestration can inform a song!

Everyone missed the point because the video has the wrong music, this is actually the choreography for disco enjolras 😔

So much attention for original French concept album Disco Enjolras but absolutely no noise for the other classic: complete symphonic recording "The Robbery" Electric Rock Guitar Javert.

Happy pride month to everyone but to the les mis fandom especially!

(Happy General Lamarque is dead day)

[thegroundsofbrooklyn]

les mis enjoyers i have a question okay

[pumpkinspice-prouvaire]

What is disco Enjolras day ?

basically, the French Concept Album decided to have a giggle with Les Amis' introduction song, leading to the funkiest Enjolras you will ever hear in your life. He's iconic. We all adore him. He learned General Lamarque is dead and immediately got possessed by the spirit of a Bee Gee. So valid. Listen and enjoy anon

Lamarque may be dead, but disco sure isn't

Reasons to love the Original Concept Album

Fantine gets a song about misery that basically summarizes the political views of the book.

Gavroche has two full songs and multiple cameos!

Fantine is angry.

Gavroche is overtly political. Actually, everyone is more political.

Rose Laurens and Michel Sardou (my beloved).

Disco Enjolras!

The less talked-of Rock Javert.

"Master of the House" has much better puns.

Seriously, the lyrics of this album fuck severely.

Gavroche's death songggg. :((

It uses the lyrics of the songs from the book verbatim.

Marius is destitute.

No weird religious undertones.

Reasons to maybe not like the Original Concept Album as much

If you don't know the story already you're going to be lossssst.

Jean Valjean? Who? Oh, you mean the guy who gets mentioned a couple of times in passing?

Cosette calls both Valjean and Marius "my prince". Gross.

The Amis don't even get a death mention...

Marius and his grandfather make up.

Enjolras calls Marius "my best friend" (???).

Pensando en él (el fanart de Enjolras y Grantaire con la equipación del Sevilla y del Betis respectivamente que hice hace una pechá de años)

[i-am-a-lazy-mess]

disco enjolras lives in my head rent free 24/7 he is iconic. (Go ahead, ask me who he is)

[thatisntverycombefair]

discolras? 🤨

[the-lark-not-the-dove]

Have I ever kissed anyone? No.

Have I ever drawn kissing? No.

Did I try? Yes.

Just throwing this out there for those of you who didn’t catch on. Topher is meant to be in a tribe like “Hair”. That’s the reason for the costume, the hair, and the “let’s get naked” line from the trailer.
