For me Brigitte Fontaine’s Est…Folle (1968) is one of the greatest albums of the sixties. The songs are magical and it features brilliant arrangement work from Jean-Claude Vannier. I’m excited about this reissue of an album that’s very important to me.

How great is this? A double vinyl reissue of Brigitte Fontaine’s landmark 1968 LP …Est Folle from @wewantsounds.bsky.social complete with extra disc of Fontaine’s Velvets-style demos and Jean Claude Vannier’s original instrumental arrangements. Reissue of the year? Mais oui!
