Title: A nice, but incomplete compilation
Review: This compilation covers Franoise Hardy hits from the beginning of her career to 1968. The repertoire, presented in chronological order, shows the evolution from her teenager songs as "Tous les garons et les filles" and "Oh oh chéri" to more serious ones as "Il est des choses" or "Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux". Personally, I clearly preferred the second half of this recording and I missed the inclusion of some of her seventies stuff. Also, there's a couple of essential hits from the period covered in this compilation which are missing: "L'amitié" and "Mon amie la rose", and this is a shame since these are some of her loveliest songs. Anyway, this is a good example of the early career of this delicious singer who is able to convey in her interpretations a tenderness rarely found in today's musical scene. But if you want to have a comprehensive idea of Hardy's career there are more complete compilations available in the market.
