Fremeaux & Associates (France), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy ... $14.99 18.98
A cool collection of work from Bob Azzam – a unique talent on the French scene at the start of the 60s, and one who was responsible for some mighty nice grooves! Bob hails from Algeria, and works here in a mix of Latin rhythms and Mid-East inflections – blending the groovy and the ... (Latin, French) read more CD
Philips/Universal (France), 1960s. New Copy ... $6.99
A great collection of groovy French pop! Although Brigitte Bardot's best known in this end of the world for her acting, she actually cut quite a few great records in France during the 60s – and this set includes 20 of them – excellent Parisian sounds from the mod generation, with ... read more CD
Mercury (Japan), 1954. Used ... $6.99
A key link in the early career of Blossom Dearie – and a fab album of jazzy vocal tracks throughout! Before Blossom recorded some of her 50s sides for Verve in the US, she was living in France and working with The Blue Stars – a cool male/female jazz vocal group that went onto become ...

Verve/DBB Recrods, 2005. Used ... $3.99
A beautiful love letter from Dee Dee Bridgewater to her adopted home of Paris – sung in French, and with a feel that's quite different than much of her recent work! The style here wonderfully mixes together bits of jazz and more traditional chanson – in a style that recalls some of the ... (Vocalists, French) read more CD

Serge Gainsbourg —
Couleur Cafe ... CD Philips, Mid 60s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
More rare stuff from Serge's mid 60's years – most of which was only released on singles or e.p.s, and almost none of which is on the other full albums we stock. The set focuses on stuff that has a Latin jazz sound to it, and is a great look at a lesser-known (but very great) side of Serge ... read more CD

Dreyfus (France), 2001. Used ... $6.99
Fremeaux & Associates (France), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Rare live work from the lovely Juliette Greco – recorded right during the height of her career, when her hip style of chanson was really transforming the sound of French music from the left bank scene! The tracks here are all very well-recorded, and feature Juliette working with a small ... read more CD
Barclay/Ace (UK), Early 60s. New Copy ... $9.99 19.98
Totally groovy work from French singer Gillian Hills – an artist who was initially best known for her work in film, thanks to movies like Beat Girl or Les Liaisons Dangereuses – but one who grew to become one of the cooler singers in Parisian pop during the 60s! Gillian's work here is ... read more CD
RCA (Japan), 1968. Used Gatefold ... $19.99
A wonderful collaboration between vocalist Sylvie Vartan and arranger Jean-Claude Vannier – a set that's really a cut above most of her other work of the 60s, thanks to Vannier's genius touch! The style here isn't as tripped-out as some of Vannier's later work, but it's still pretty darn ... read more CD

Rev-Ola (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $12.99 18.98
A really cool collection of work from Sylvie Vartan – the female French singer who really helped set the scene on fire back in the 60s – and stood as one of the first to bridge the new rocking modes with an older style of French pop! As important as the music of Edith Piaf, Juliette ... read more CD
RCA (Japan), 1969. Used ... $19.99
A obscure all-Italian album from French pop chanteuse Sylvie Vartan – one with some very very groovy numbers! The overall style here is a bit similar to Sylvie's best late 60s work in France – thanks to arrangements that are mostly from Reg Guest and Arthur Greenslade – but the ... read more CD

Fremeaux & Associates (France), 2000. New Copy ... $8.99
A really cool little record – one with an imagined retro vibe, but done at a level that stands far above most other efforts of its type! The album features older Latin, lounge, and jazz styles topped by the unique vocal mode of Karl Zero – who kind of sings and speaks, mostly in French ... (Rock, French) read more CD
Ace (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $14.99 19.98
Fantastic 60s guitar instrumentals – all from a very unusual source – given that all the tracks here were recorded in France during the mid 60s, but stand equally alongside the best American groups of the time! It's no secret that France had an early love of rock and roll – and ... (Rock, French) read more CD

Le Chat Dans Tous Ses Etats – Anthologie De La Chanson Feline 1911 to 1962 (3CD set) ... CD Fremeaux & Associates (France), 1910s/1920s/1930s/1940s/1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 3CD ... $19.99 29.99
A cool little record for lovers of cats – or, more specifically, lovers of cats with a command of the French language – as all the tunes here are from French records from midcentury – a really cool blend of chanson, jazz, pop, classical, and other modes – brought together in ... read more CD
