За последним и стоит идти в ММДМ: серия альбомов «Jazz Sebastian Bach», выпущенная в 60-е, — лучшее, что было в их дискографии. Впрочем, исконные французские TSS, начинавшие на бэк-вокале у самого Шарля Азнавура, распались еще в 1973 году. Нынешних — британских — певцов с прежними связывает только имя основателя коллектива Варда Свингла.     Состав The Swingles это: Joanna Goldsmith-Eteson Sara Brimer Clare Wheeler Oliver Griffiths Christopher Jay Kevin Fox Edward Randell     Album credits All tracks engineered and edited by Nick Girard Except 6 and 10 engineered and edited by Juan Luis Ayala at Mind Motion Studio, originally released on the ‘Yule Songs’ EP (2011) Tracks 2,3,5,9,11,12 recorded at The Barn, East Clandon Tracks 1,4,7,8 recorded at British Grove Studios, London.
