"This excellent selection of Edith Piaf's early recordings will take you back to the good old days, when the lyrics and music of a song had a meaning. There is a story in every song, and Edith Piaf sang them with all her heart and soul. She was a great artist, whom I had the privilege to meet in Paris, where I was born and raised. This set will be an asset to all the music lovers, who should also check The Early Years - volume 4. I am delighted that Amazon made this collection available to all of us. Great job and thank you, Amazon."

"Edith Piaf
"L'Integrale: 1936-1945"
(Philips-France, 1990)
-----------------------------------
Truly, the best of Edith Piaf. Originally a 4-CD set, this collection gathers almost all of Piaf's best early work... There are a few recordings from 1935 that are not included here, but in essence, this is the wellspring, the music that made her one of the mst celebrated singers in pre-war France. Highly recommended, and highly rewarding. (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To French Pop Music)"
