Editorial Reviews

Excellent CD that collects the best tracks by the talented female artists signed to EMI's French labels. British stars like Sandie Shaw recorded material exclusively for France - and she's heard with her rare French-only track "Rien N'est Fini". Remastered from the original sources at Abbey Road, La Belle Epoque - EMI's French Girls 1965-68 presents these 20 tracks as they've never been heard before. Some tracks have previously been included on French compilations or bootlegs, however, the sound quality here is a revelation. Original mono and stereo have been used, preserving the integrity of the original recordings. EMI. 2007.

It's very rare that an Uk comp of french material is not full of clichés. This one is perfect with some french hits and pop stars and great song that will be i'm sure a discovery for many.
A great slice of 60's french girl pop-

Bravo!!

When I ordered this CD I was taking a chance that it was "60 French Girls Les Petites" by Les Djinnes Singers; it was not. The CD selections were acceptable but not great; I gave the DVD to my brother in law (who was of the same opinion as me after playing the CD) who sent us 60 French Girls Les Petites in audio tape form nearly 50 y ago in Nova Scotia.

After receiving the La Belle Epoque CD I did find the LP "60 French Girl Les Petites" on Amazon, and I bought it!!...the record is in perfect condition (perhaps never played)...and it played beautifully. So, I am now satisfied that I finally have the record of "60 French Girls Les Petites" by Les Djinnes Singers.
