I bought this CD because I heard thier hit 'Ca Plane Pour Moi'. Though that song stands out on this CD songs like #8 Stop ou encore, #5 Tout petit la planete and #10 Hula-Hoop so make this cd worth buying. I don't understand most of what the lyrics say but the music and the way the lyrics sound makes this CD a must have!

This is one of those rare CDs where every song is as good as the one or two cuts you may have heard. If you like the hit 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' you're in luck-lots of other great songs here. All in French, but it doesn't matter-the French speaking 'Ca Plane Pour Moi,' was a hit in many non-French speaking countries and the rest translate just as well.

Lots of great songs! Belgium native Plastic Bertrand (real name Roger Jouret) was extremely popular in the late 70's and early 80's, especially in french-speaking countries. Hearing those songs again brings back lots of memories. They are quite enjoyable to listen to and, to my surprise, even the ones I thought were less desirable then I now find enjoyable as well. Makes you think about not taking life (at least, when it's possible) and yourself too seriously. There is another collection presently available in Canada which has all those songs plus an additional 4 tracks: "Super Cool", "Fou des 50's", "Paradis" and "Gueule d'Amour".

I didnt realize that Plastic Bertrand was famous back in the 70's, recently a local punk station played Ca plane pour moi and I loved the song, the music has been passed on to the next generation.

because I finally found what I've been looking for in Sweden for the last 3 months whithout any sucess. The songs on the album takes me back to my wild youth when Plastic Bertrand were the kings. I can hardly wait for the delivery...
