Synopsis

Album Description

The "Pop à Paris" series provides convincing evidence that London was not the only swinging spot in the sixties? In five volumes and 110 tracks, it reunites the most important artists of the Pop movement in France at that time: Johnny Hallyday, Michel Polnareff, France Gall, Serge Gainsbourg, Brigitte Bardot, Henri Salvador, Marie Laforêt, Nino Ferrer, Ronnie Bird, Claude François, Eddy Mitchell and more. Many unfamous names are also featured - but great songs, including French remakes from American hits (much like the heralded "1000 Nadelstiche" series of German remakes of American hits in Germany). A 35-track Best Of is also available. "Le twist est mort, vive le jerk!"

CD Reviews

Swinging French Lounge Psychedelia

Ralf Dudat | 2 / 41 Doveton Avenue Eumemmerring Victoria Au | 04/10/2004

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Best description for our times would be Austin Powers music in French. This series of CDs runs on the cool, loungy side of psychedelia, with a distinct Continental flavour. Music for swinging dandies. From the discs I have, most of the tracks in this series seem to be presented here in mono, as they perhaps were on first release in the late 60s. However I have some of the same songs on the individual artists' CDs that have been remastered in stereo and the clarity is better. So you can take your pick: buy the seperate remastered albums or get all the choice tracks on one CD , albeit in mono.
If you want French 60s music with less hippy and more of a Yeh-Yeh or lolita rock'n'roll flavour search for April March, early France Gall, the "Femmes De Paris" series or the sometimes more serious, but ever alluring and musically gifted Francoise Hardy."
