Swinging Mademoiselles: Groovy French Sounds from the 60s

In 1960s France, the bastion of the burgeoning youth culture in Europe, teenagers were becoming totally absorbed in American culture, though films, music and clothes. Long before the sixties began to swing in London town, France was enjoying what was to become known as "les annees ye-ye." A truly golden period of uniquely Gallic takes on American and British pop. Out of this music explosion came the "ye-ye girls," sultry, young French maidens, heavy on mascara and a languid innocence. Inspired by the chanteuse tradition, these sexy girls added their own sparky twist to create a much loved chapter in the history of pop.

This compilation bring together a groovy collection of sounds that capture the pure essence of ye-ye from straight down the line pop to the influences of psychedelia. This release is the perfect starting point to the swinging world of ye-ye. If it were any cooler it would be frozen. more
