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

Souffle Continu (France), Mid 80s. New Copy ... $19.99 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!

Fontana/Mercury (France), 1969. New Copy ... $14.99 24.99
A landmark collaboration between Serge Gainsbourg and actress Jane Birkin – his paramour at the time, and a much younger woman!

WIP (France), Mid 70s. Near Mint- ... $11.99 14.99
Excellent slinky sexy 70s work by Francis Lai – the famous French composer who's penned some of our favorite scores, and who's working frequently here in a "sex behind the curtains" style that's pretty great.
