Jacqueline Taieb - Jacqueline Taïeb '1967

Tracks list

Merlins Nose Records present a reissue of Jacqueline Taiebs debut album,
originally released in 1967. This 1967 yé-yé debut album is as scarce as
gold dust, fetching high prices among collectors if they find a copy in good
condition. Tunisian-born Jacqueline did fairly well with her music over the past
50 years and here we witness her more than adequate start into the world of
chanson and pop. Her intense brand of fiery, late 60s beat, refined with tinges
of garage rock, can be considered as an ear candy for 60s aficionados. Some
rather lightweight tunes twang around you like flock of colorful butterflies and
could easily have been a great success for the one or another star of the
American West coast pop scene. Melancholic ballads straddle into this checkered
round dance and seize your heart. The waking call happens instantly with a
well-placed gruff beat tune, which you would not expect from such a tender young
woman. In the next moment, a passionate French chanson drags you back to the
opposite side. From well-behaved to cheeky and even charming. Due to very
memorable and substantial compositions, this jewel of late 60s pop music is a
classic. RIYL: Rolling Stones, The Shocking Blue. Edition of 1000.
