WIZZZ - French Psychorama - 1966/1970 - Volume 2
Description
The Wizzz compilations have established themselves as the benchmark compilations of the genre... Copied by everyone else to lesser effect, 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 pronounced taste for derision and concern for promoting the creativity of French artists who sought to break with the yéyé diktat of the time.
So, if for you the France of the sixties boils down to the harmless Adamo and Sheila, these collections of rare and unreleased tracks unearthed from the depths of sixties pop made in France may well make you aware of the richness and temerity of some of Gainsbourg's poor relations and other freaks who went completely unnoticed in the days of salut les copains. The Wizzzz compilations unearth and rehabilitate these underground geniuses and tinkerers, pillars of the second division, who competed in inventiveness and audacity to silence forever the naysayers who claimed that France was lagging behind in terms of pop music.
