Each, strictly speaking, was eponymously titled, and each was collected from a series of contemporary four-track, seven-inch, picture-sleeve EPs–pop music’s main format in France, known as le super 45. In them, we see the maturing of one of the decade’s most singular talents–a pop singer with the heart of a chanteuse, a singer-songwriter in an age before such a thing was known, and a style icon who valued privacy and modesty. Remastered from the original tapes, we present the first five Françoise Hardy albums in their original French format, on deluxe LP and CD. By 1965, Françoise Hardy was truly international. She’d hung out with The Beatles and The Stones, played high-profile shows in London, established a working relationship with British producer Charles Blackwell, and appeared in the film What’s New Pussycat? She was also a fashion icon seen in the pages of Marie Claire and Vogue and on the cover of Elle, and her first US album was issued that year. In France, Hardy was to release album number four, the second album to be recorded in London, where her celebrity was rapidly growing–at odds with her natural shyness. “In London, it was the first time I’d been made to think I had a certain charm or charisma,” she says now. “Thanks to the time in England, I became aware I could be seductive.” L’Amitié, with its evocative, close-up album cover and late-night sound, is the result. Produced by Jacques Wolfsohn alongside arranger Charles Blackwell, the sessions were notable for some distracting visitors. “Mick Jagger was there a few times with various entourages of his at Pye [Studios],” recalls Blackwell. “There was a long seat in front of the mixing desk where they used to sit.” Hardy was, however, not the epitome of the swinging ‘60s idyll; she was an intellectual, into yoga and Buddhism and astrology, and she still noted French chanson singers George Brassens and Jacques Brel as favorites alongside Elvis, Dionne Warwick, and The Rolling Stones. Despite her new links to the world of fashion, the tentative steps into film, the growing international awareness, and the attention she brought sheerly through her presence, music remained Françoise’s focus, and her fourth album more than demonstrated this. A mix of Hardy’s own songs, Blackwell’s songs, and tracks from writers including Jean-Max Rivière and Gérard Bourgeois (who wrote the title track), the sound focused on stirring, heavy pop, not least in the yearning “L’Amitié.” “I’m still very proud of ‘L’Amitié,’” says Françoise, who’s wont to undervalue her own work. “The French lyrics are so very moving.” Artist Francoise Hardy Genre Rock And Pop Label Future Days Recordings Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Ce Petit Cœur 2 Il Se Fait Tard 3 Tout Ce Qu'on M’A Dit 4 L'Amitié 5 En T'Attendant 6 Je T'Aime7 Non Ce N'est Pas Un Rêve 8 Quel Mal Y A-T-II À Ça? 9 Tu Peux Bien 10 Le Temps Des Souvenirs 11 Je Pensais 12 Dis Lui Non Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Francoise Hardy and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Francoise Hardy Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles Rock And Pop | Future Days Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 29th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Francoise Hardy Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Future Days Recordings SKU: FDR614LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Francoise Hardy ‘Mon Amie La Rose’ Rock And Pop | Future Days Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 29th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Francoise Hardy ‘Mon Amie La Rose’ £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Future Days Recordings SKU: FDR616LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Francoise Hardy ‘La Maison Ou J’ai Grandi’ Rock And Pop | Future Days Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 29th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Francoise Hardy ‘La Maison Ou J’ai Grandi’ £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Future Days Recordings SKU: FDR618LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Genesis The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Atlantic 75 Series) Progressive | Analogue Productions | 45rpm, 4LP, Box Set Released 19th December 2023 £165.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Genesis The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Atlantic 75 Series) £165.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPA 013-45 Formats: 45rpm, 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 19th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Palace So Long Forever Rock And Pop | Fiction | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th November 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Palace So Long Forever £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fiction SKU: PALACE19 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laibach Spectre Rock And Pop | Mute | 1LP, Includes CD Released 3rd March 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laibach Spectre £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: STUMM358 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 3rd March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elvis Costello & The Attractions The Costello Show: King Of America Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th October 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elvis Costello & The Attractions The Costello Show: King Of America £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: 4733118 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View New Bums Last Time I Saw Grace Rock And Pop | Drag City | 1LP Released 19th March 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders New Bums Last Time I Saw Grace £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Drag City SKU: DC809 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Minor Victories Minor Victories Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd June 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Minor Victories Minor Victories £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR885LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Wedding Present, The Seamonsters (30th Anniversary Edition) Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 2LP, Includes CD Released 28th May 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wedding Present, The Seamonsters (30th Anniversary Edition) £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 19439878981 Formats: 2LP, Includes CD Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The Houston ‘65 Live!
