Hello Ollie,

if you want to dig a little more, Samuel has written a few
years ago, in French:
C'est l'histoire d'un 'a'
http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/a.html

There is an approximate translation in English, with some
caveats:

Also, you can download audio versions of the genuine article from:
http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/a-audio/

Best,

Didier
