Many of the foremost female vocalists to emerge from France during the 60s are featured, including ultra-chic cover girl France Gall, cult favourite Jacqueline Taeb, top Gallic girl group Les Gams and iconic singer-songwriter Franoise Hardy. Of all the y-y girls, only the exquisite Franoise was afforded the privilege of consistent British releases throughout the 1960s. Her vast catalogue is so consistently excellent that almost any of her recordings could have graced this collection. The pragmatic fatalism of Voil clinched its inclusion. Also contained are two French-singing non-nationals: Danish actress Anna Karina and Cairo-born Liz Brady.

Songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, enfant terrible of the y-y generation, is represented by Anna Karinas striking, almost punkish Roller Girl, the quasi-Spector Non, A Tous Les Garons by Michle Torr and France Galls Laisser Tomber Les Filles. If the latter sounds familiar, you may have experienced it in a Tarantino soundtrack translated as Chick Habit by arch Francophile April March.

Pressed on 180g blonde vinyl in heavy duty gatefold sleeve.
