Female labelmates first! While he introduced his song live since the summer of '58, Brel's first release was on his fourth album (Philips B76483), Pia's on her album Tique Taque (Philips B76474). This waltz starts like the one in Sobre Las Olas (see there).
Covers:
André Verchuren [accordion version]
Jean Poiret [as La Vache à mille francs]
Will Ferdy [as Een Wals Van Duizend Tellen]
Pia also introduced Serge Gainsbourg's Défense d'afficher ('59); Juliette Gréco sang it that same year with André Popp's orchestra (shelved until 1990).
