Includes a 32 page booklet with both French and English notes.

Claude COLOMBINI

"Popular song is as significant and as important as the most beautiful pieces of work. Through songs which are and have been sung by the masses, we may discover the feelings and emotions of a nation, both in times of trouble and happiness" Maurice CHEVALIER, 1947. This second 2-CD set anthology features Maurice Chevalier's recordings from 1930 to 1949. Includes a 32 page booklet with both French and English notes.

An actress as much as a singer, Germaine Montero was the perfect incarnation of her texts, whether they were songs or poems; better than anyone, she succeeded in highlighting their rhythms, their spirit and their musical qualities. And she was ideally suited to perform them: she could reach inside the heart and shape of a word, and grasp its meaning and colour. Every one of the 96 titles in this anthology compiled by Jean Buzelin and Marc Monneraye is an illustration of the art of perfect performance. Patrick Fremeaux Actriz y cantante, Germaine Montero encarna a la perfección textos y canciones como poemas de los cuales era capaz de expresar el ritmo, la musicalidad y el espíritu mejor que nadie. Ella fue la interprete ideal de aquellas obras, sabiendo entrar en el corazón de la palabra y del verbo para entender su sentido y su color. Los 96 títulos juntos en esta antología de Jean Buzelin y Marc Monneraye, son ejemplo de su arte perfecto de interpretación. Patrick Fremeaux

Fantasy, drollness and poetry were rarely incarnated with such freshness and mischief as in the songs of Ricet Barrier, one of the most endearing of French songwriters, and those who performed his songs delighted in them, especially the Freres Jacques. This unique 2CD anthology concocted by Jean Buzelin and Marc Monneraye presents all his first songs in detail. Augustin BONDOUX

edith Piaf is the most fascinating French singer. Her songs have circled the globe and today they belong to our worldheritage. This set contains the most beautiful versions of her greatest hits, recorded live in Paris between 1958 and 1962. The set contains historic period-documents (audio conversations with Jean Cocteau, Joseph Kessel or Pierre Brasseur, or in duo with Jacques Prevert, etc.). A booklet written by Martin Penet, a great Piaf specialist and French song-historian, accompanies the contents. Patrick FReMEAUX The Live in Paris collection by Michel Brillie allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These “live” takes, and the artists’ rapport with their audiences, gives these performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet CD standards while preserving the original colours of the period. Patrick FReMEAUX & Gilles PeTARD

"Hollywood legend Judy Garland left her mark on 20th century American art through her movies, stage performances, radio and songs. Her peerless ‘Over the Rainbow’ was voted ‘song of the century’ and five of her recordings entered the Grammy Hall of Fame. Lawrence Schulman presents an exceptional anthology with the first album featuring Judy Garland’s greatest hits and the second offering titles from private collections which have never been issued previously. The rarity of these recordings compensates the quality of sound which is inferior to studio recordings. A new aspect of this timeless icon from America’s Golden Age." Patrick Fremeaux FReMEAUX & ASSOCIeS ISSUES 25 NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD JUDY GARLAND TRACKS French Label Unveils 79-Year-Old Film Soundtracks and 72-Year-Old Radio Broadcasts Fremeaux & Associes is proud to announce the release of a new box set of two compact discs Judy Garland: Classiques et Inedits 1929-1956 [Judy Garland: Classic and Previously Unreleased Recordings 1929-1956] that contains forty Judy Garland recordings, most of which have been unavailable for up to seven decades. Culled from studio sessions and private collections from around the world, the anthology, whose tracks were trans-ferred by Grammy Award winner Jon M. Samuels in New York and remastered by Art & Son Studio in Paris, has been in preparation for over a year. It includes well-known and lesser-known Garland classics, but also collectors’ items many of which are previously unreleased, such as her screen debut at First-National—Vitaphone Pictures in 1929, 20 rare radio appearances of which 19 are new on CD, the first re-lease of a song she herself composed, and surround sound reproductions done for the set’s director, Lawrence Schulman, by the Australian sound engineer and award-winning radio host Robert Parker shortly before his death in 2004. The two tracks that open the first CD, "Blue Butterfly" and "Hang on to a Rainbow", are both from Vitaphone discs done by the 7 ½ Frances Gumm for early talkies in 1929 – almost a decade before "Over the Rainbow"! The collection encompasses all the labels for which Garland recorded during her career, from the earliest Decca side "Stompin’ at the Savoy", to her last MGM recording Get Happy, and beyond to her Columbia and Capitol sessions. Of special interest on the first CD are "Send My Baby Back to Me", "Heartbroken", "Without a Memory", and "Go Home, Joe", all recorded in 1953. Robert Parker, well-known for extracting stereo from vintage jazz and popular recordings, transferred them from DJ vinyl 78s into surround in 2002. This is the first time any Garland studio session has been heard in surround. A regular guest on the radio during her movie heyday, Garland sometimes tried her hand at standards and novelty numbers she never performed on film or record. These coveted collectors’ items, released sparingly over the years, make up the collection’s second CD, which includes her first preserved radio appearance from 1935 wherein she belts "Broadway Rhythm", as well as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" in 1938, "Goody Goodbye" in 1939, "In Spain They Say “Si-Si”" in 1940, "Daddy" in 1941, and "You and I" in 1951. Other new items to be savored are "Love’s New Sweet Song", a song Garland herself composed with husband David Rose in 1941 for a radio show, and a never-before-heard private record of her performing "Someone to Watch Over Me" for a Democratic Party dinner in 1944. “The fact that so many Garland radio performances have never been released so many decades after their broadcast is astounding” states Schulman. The 32-page brochure in French and in English contains liner notes by Schulman, as well as a detailed discography. Fremeaux & Associes, founded by Patrick Fremeaux and Claude Colombini, and recipient of the Grand Prix in honorem of the Charles Cros Academy, has built a catalogue over the years of some 25,000 references distributed in 32 countries. With of over 1000 awards, the label takes pride in striving to rehabilitate the sound heritage of the 20th century to make our collective memory permanently available to future generations.

"This boxed set of three outstanding CDs comprises 11 unissued titles, including La Belle Arabelle, and two public concerts never before issued on compact disc. Jean Buzelin and Marc Monneraye breathe new life into the Freres Jacques' first recitals, enabling the listener to fully appreciate the early days and rapid rise of a group whose unbelievably dynamic stage performances became a legend." Patrick FReMEAUX
