Sean OHagan Presents: The Sunshine World of Louis Philippe

Louis Philippe is living the big dream: He's a famous football journalist and a pop star. He writes, arranges,sings and plays the most elegant pop songs on our side of the Atlantic, he released on the legendary label él Records and his influence on the great Japanese Shibuya sound cannot be underestimated. So Tapete are very pleased to present a long overdue compilation of some of the greatest Louis Philippe songs from the years 1994- 2007.

Many of these songs are from albums that have been out of print for a long time, and some of them are being released on vinyl for the first time The album was expertly compiled by Louis Philippe's friend and sometime musical partner Sean O'Hagan (The High Llamas), who also wrote the liner notes.
