Ah, French Pop. For the uninitiated, France produced some fantastic music in the 1960s. Studios and the session musicians in France were easily as good and as innovative as their US & UK counterparts. I tend to favor original music written by or for French artists, vs. cover versions of familiar US & UK hits. I picked this particular 45 in a dollar bin on a trip to Japan. The 45 and picture sleeve are fairly common. I am not sure if this was a hit in the Land of the Rising Sun or if Philips simply pressed a bunch of copies in anticipation. The A side seems to be an attempt to cash in on France Gall's Serge Gainsbourg composed Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son. I prefer the b-side. The production is stunning. Va Dire A Ton Pére is packed with reverb, epic orchestration, drama and backing vocals reminiscent of My Year Is A Day by Les Irresistibles.

Welcome to the Resurrection Beat Machine! This blog is dedicated to lost 60s pop songs from the US, UK and abroad. Whenever possible, please purchase music and support the artists / labels. This album is available here.

I don't know much about the Spanish band Los Buenos. I originally heard Cancion on a CD compilation and loved it. Like Plant Life, which I posted earlier this month, the sound of Cancion seems to draw some inspiration from the Easybeats, especially during the Sorry-esque vocal gobbledygook finale.
