Jean-Pierre Ferland - Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes

Jean-Pierre Ferland - Jaune (1970)

It's the remixed version of 'Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes' from the 35th anniversary 2005 reissue. I can be forgiven, as far as I can tell they've just turned the good parts up in the mix, and the song has lost nothing for it.

Great sounding track.

Andre Brasseur - Funky

Andre Brasseur - This Is Andre Brasseur (1968)

Andre Brasseur - Funky (Belgium, 1968)

A nice big beat plodder with funky organ and enthusiastic shouting/clapping, sure to fill a dancefloor in any discerning club.

I would have put 'The Duck' up instead, but the version I have skips - unfortunately. It's essentially in a similar vein to 'Funky' and should have really been called 'Funky Part 2', although it does have a lot more strange noise making throughout.

Jacques Dutronc - Proverbes

Jacques Dutronc - À Tout Berzinque / Proverbes (1969)

Jacques Dutronc - Proverbes (France, 1969)

I'm very partial to Jacques Dutronc. In my humble opinion he's not quite in the same league as Polnareff, but 'Proverbes' I feel puts him up there temporarily.
