France Gall - Poupêe de son

Diva francesa.
Se hizo famosa en Francia en los años 60 cantando temas de Serge Gainsbourg como Les Sucettes (polémica canción cuya letra puede interpretarse como la descripción de una felación y con la que France se escandalizó cuando descubrió su doble significado) o Poupée de cire, poupée de son, que venció, representando a Luxemburgo, en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión de 1965. En 1969 participó también en una edición del Festival de Sanremo con la canción La pioggia, interpretada a dúo con Gigliola Cinquetti. En 1988 alcanzó las máximas posiciones en las listas musicales de muchos países con Ella, elle l'a. Se la consideró como el equivalente francés de Lesley Gore en Estados Unidos y de Twinkle en el Reino Unido. (de la wiki)(en Fr.)

The Divine Comedy - Victory for the comic muse

The album is fairly unique in the Divine Comedy catalogue - and in the catalogue of most recent popular music - in that Hannon's original aim with the album was to record it entirely in two weeks, with the minimum of overdubbing. As such, almost all of the music on the album - much to the chagrin of the classical players involved on almost every track, and the Divine Comedy band itself - was recorded in live takes. At first, they attempted to use no click tracks or headphones, but eventually they did. The band would record their part, the orchestra would overdub theirs, and then Hannon would record his vocals. No further overdubbing took place unless absolutely necessary, in a fairly hurried style of recording, and in stark contrast to the modern recording technique of stacking up tracks.

During the recording, Hannon's vocals had to be recorded even more hurriedly than planned because for most of the two weeks he was suffering from a cold that got progressively worse before finally clearing up. (by Wikipedia)

Petula Clark: Greatest Hits (1986)

Petula Clark: Greatest Hits

The most commercially successful female singer in British chart history, Petula Clark was born November 15, 1932 in Epsom, England. Trained to sing by her soprano mother, Clark embarked on a stage career at the age of seven; soon she was a fixture on British radio programs, and began hosting her own regular show Pet's Parlour [a series spotlighting patriotic songs designed to boost the morale of wartime audiences] at the tender age of 11. After entertaining British troops alongside fellow child stars Julie Andrews and Anthony Newley, Clark made her film debut with A Medal For The General in 1944. By the dawn of the 1950s she was a superstar throughout the U.K., with a resume of close to two dozen films. Clark struggled with her inability to shed her adolescent image. After selling over a million copies of 1961's "Romeo," she married and relocated to France, establishing a strong fan base there. Riding the wave of the British Invasion, Clark was finally able to penetrate the U.S. market in 1964 with the Grammy-winning "Downtown," the first single by a British woman ever to reach number one on the American pop charts. It was also the first in a series of American Top Ten hits [most written and arranged by Tony Hatch] which also included 1965's "I Know a Place" and 1966's "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" and the number one smash "My Love." At the same time, she remained a huge star throughout Europe, topping the British charts in 1967 with "This Is My Song," taken from the film A Countess From Hong Kong. In 1988, an acid-house remix of "Downtown" reached the U.K. Top Ten, another honor for the female singer awarded the most gold records in British pop history.

This Greatest Hits collection has all the major US hits, plus some British and European chart successes never heard in the US.

Los Iberos - Todos sus singles y grabaciones para Columbia (1968-1973)

A mi juicio uno de los mejores conjuntos que dió el pop patrio en los años 60. Puede que fueran en parte un producto de consumo, aunque no cuajó definitivamente, pero tienen un puñado de impresionantes canciones que deberían hacer sonrrojar al actual mainstream nacional. Estas fueron todas sus grabaciones.
