France Gall - 1968 (Black LP - 2020)

We know you like to dig for guitars and parts, so we figured you might like crate digging too! We've got a variety of genres in both new and used records, including a few from our personal collection.

Jack's Guitarcheology is a distributor for Third Man Records.

France Gall was a prolific French vocalist and performer, remembered as one of the central figures of the 1960's yé-yé artists promoted a sort of new freedom of expression and breaking down of social barriers in post-WWII France. Third Man Records is beyond honored to bring this music to a larger audience by issuing the first authorized North American vinyl pressings of these titles, some of the most brilliant highlights from Gall's catalog.

Without a doubt this is the weirdest France Gall record. 1968 dives further into the psychedelia that she was hinting at on Baby Pop. Even with addition of sitars and echoes of The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks and Pet Sounds era Beach Boys all over this record, it is still 100% French and could only have been made by France Gall. The addition of English expat producer/arranger, David Whitaker, brought a new and welcome airiness to the mix that was lacking on Gall's earlier recordings. The album contains 2 of Serge Gainsbourg's strangest and most out there arrangements, "Nefertiti" and "Teenie Weenie Boppie" about an LSD trip gone horribly wrong. 1968 is an absolutely essential addition to any record collection.
