Long before Britain started swinging in the mid-1960s, France was the bastion for cool European pop sounds. Sultry young French women, heavy on mascara and dreamy innocence, cast a spell with what became known as Les Annes Y Y.
The Y Y girls took a firm grip on American and British pop and gave it a sparkly Gallic twist, resulting in a vibrant sound that has effortlessly stood the test of time.
This collection features many rare and sought-after tracks from the languid sound of Jacqueline Taiebs 7 Heures Du Matin and Katy Davids alluring take on Petula Clarks standard Call Me to Elizabeths precocious Je Suis Sublime.
