WIZZZ French Psychorama 1966-1970- volume 2 (vinyl)

Description

Wizzz compilations have established themselves as the definitive compilations of the genre... Copied by everyone else, but never as well, most of the tracks are now considered classics of French pop. Wild jerks, weird stuff that came out of nowhere, nonsensical lyrics, and always that strong taste for derision and the desire to highlight the creativity of French artists who sought to break with the yéyé dictate of the time. So, if for you 60s France comes down to the inoffensive Adamo and Sheila, these collections of rare and unreleased tracks unearthed from the depths of 60s French pop could well make you realize the richness and audacity of some of Gainsbourg's poorer cousins and other freaks who went completely unnoticed during the "Salut les copains" era. Wizzz compilations thus unearth and rehabilitate these underground geniuses and DIY artists, pillars of the second division, who competed in inventiveness and daring to forever silence the naysayers who claimed that, in terms of pop, France was lagging behind.
