Beautiful vocal work from Guy Cabay – put together with a strong touch of jazz, a bit of bossa, and a swirling vibe that's mighty nice!

Groovy girl pop from late 60s France – a treasure trove of under-discovered numbers from the lovely Clothilde!

A fantastic pairing of these two contemporary French acts – coming together here in a style that's even greater than the sum of their parts!

Le Composant Compositeur (with bonus CD) ... LP Souffle Continu (France), Mid 80s. New Copy ... $30.99 34.99
Lean later work from Philippe Doray and his anti-social associates – material that draws heavily on some of the cold wave electronics of the early part of the 80s, and which also has some of the playful presence of the German new wave too! The music is definitely out of time – very ... (Rock, French) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A totally cool record from the French scene at the start of the 70s – a set that has breathy vocals from female singer Frantz, very much in a Jane Birkin mode – and these ultra-cool backings from Eric Demarsan – best known for soundtrack work, but coming across here in a stunning ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

CBS (France), 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
A really joyous groove from Michel Fugain and his Big Bazar group – a sound that's a bit hard to describe, but which really grabs us right away!

Philips/Third Man, 1966. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 25.99
No baby pop here, as France Gall is all-woman throughout – one of the best of the French female pop singers of the mid 60s, working here with an upbeat, groovy sound throughout!
