Various - C'est Chic!: French Girl Singers Of The 1960's

for the first issue to carry the new ace international logo we stray a little less far from home, hopping just over the channel to france, home of the 1960s y-y girl phenomenon. comprising 24 tracks by 20 acts - franoise hardy, france gall, jacqueline taeb and the country's top girl group les gam's are each represented by two titles. 'c'est chic!' features many of the premier female stars of gallic pop, plus a few french-singing non-nationals for good measure. the majority of the songs here are french compositions, but astute listeners will recognise some others in their english language originals. the compilers are currently immersed in the recordings of the y-y girls of italy and spain with a view to future ace international releases. also in the works is a collection of compositions by fabled songwriter serge gainsbourg.
