April March single-handedly reinvents 60's girl group go-go with this album. And she does it in Fray-unch! (Though I understand she's actually from California.)

If you're into, say, Japanese reinterpretation of American pop, this may touch many of the same musical sensibilities.

Made me feel like putting on white boots and a mini and heading out to Pigalle for a night doing the pony. AND I'M A GUY!

I so loved these songs from the first time I heard them, that I taped the entire record off of our local college radio station. (In fact, I don't have the CD! But now I'm thrilled to know I can buy it!

April, wherever you are, WHO ever you are... I LOVE YOU!

The first time I knew about April March was in L.A., when my friend Ann Closs worked with her while April was an animator for the Ren & Stimpy show back in 1995-96. She played April's record to me; when I heard the catchy tune Chick Habit and the original French song Laisse Tomber les Filles I was hooked! Of course through her I discovered France Gall (the original singer) but that's another story. April March's beautiful vocals and phrasing is something that'll stay in your head for the rest of your life. I recommend this highly!!

A fantastic blend of garage and exotica, Chick Habit is long on pleasure with only a tinge of guilt. this retro-pop record is so flawlessly executed and recorded, you'll think you fell into the way-back machine set for '65.

This is an amazing album. This is April March's first album and features the single "Chick Habit" that was featured on the credits of Quintin Tarantino's film Grind House.

The album is sung entirely in French, with an added English language version of Chick Habit at the end, but I found the language barrier posed no setback to my enjoyment of this music. The album was recorded with Serge Gainsborough and features a lovely retro 60's Surf-rock style pulled off beautifully with April's coquette voice; impossible for any red-blooded rocker not to fall in love with.

Chick Habit and the French version,Laisse Tomber Les Filles, is very catchy. Heard it during the end titles for Grind House and I couldn't get it out of my head. The French version is actually a remake and April March's version from the 1990's actually captures the era more than the original version from the 1960's by France Gall. FYI, April March is an alias, and she is an American. Except for Chick Habit, all the other songs are in French. I enjoy listening to this cd.

This CD is so fun, wish it was longer.
My 3 and a half year old loves listening to "that french girl"

Love this album !!!! I listen to it everyday, enjoyed every song from the beginning to the end. You won't be disappointed, You just want to get up and go go dance.

This is some of the best lyrics ever written, Thank Mr. Tarantino for bringing it to public attention !!!

Bon Je viens d'écouter Quelque Extraits d'Avril, c'est pas trop mal-moi qui conviennent Français par contre je me rend mieux compte pourquoi elle est inconnue chez nous - Est Son élocution Française bien mais pas plus-CES Reprise sonnent NE Vraiment pas francais mais je Comprend les anglophones Qui Puis l'aimaient-CECI dit chez nous elle n'aurait aucun Succès - Si vraiment vous voulez écouter de la chanssons Française YéYé écoutez Donc Une inconnu Qui est pourtant la plus grande des chanteuses des années soixante C'est Patricia Carli, sa voix résonne l'atmosphère et le climat des année soixante - Chanteuse et compositrice DE CES Propres chanssons elle a Dans la voix des intonations Qui nous Ramène Directement A TEMPS CES Qui jamais n'existeront plus sauf a l ' écoute de Sa vois - Supérieur à contemporaines CES (Sylvie Vartan, Françoise Hardie, France Gall, etc ...) Une sorte de malédiction s'acharne sur elle et la laisse dans la nuit, Dans l'oublie-LA PLUS GRANDE Christian ( FRANCE)

If you need to cover something,then do it your own way.EXPRESS YOURSELF.

I dont know why anybody would want to listen to this record when you can have "the real thing".

For you guys who like this record,be prepared to be blown away...
..." FRANCE GALL "... is the name which will keep you addicted for a long time.
Just listen to the original " Laisse Tomber Les Filles " (or infact anything out of her sixties stuff),and then you'll know what I mean.

The choice is yours.
