LIVE IN PARIS OCT & DEC 1962

Johnny Hallyday. There’s no doubt in the minds of the French: he is the most important rock artist of the 20th century. He was just 19 when he made these live recordings which translate every kilo of the talent, energy and daring which the young rocker was putting into his career debuts: pure rock ‘n’ roll. The enclosed booklet was written by Francois Jouffa, the icon’s biographer, and it details the arrival on the scene of the Star who became the “Teenage Idol” in 1962… and kept that image throughout his career.
