COSETTE - LES CHEVEUX DANS LES YEUX
one e.p. with all songs written by cosette - i'd love to hear le grand chaperon noir and ballade pour un pourquoi. (everyone has idealisation, yes?)

RIA BARTOK - TU AS PERDU LA TETE
i'm not normally a big fan of ria, she normally just misses the mark but this song is right on target.

rare france gall

after posting the marianne cover of 'a bientot nous deux', i then realised france gall had also covered it! view it here. amazing.
am i right in thinking this song isn't on vinyl or cd? so has anyone got an mp3 version? or can anyone make a good copy from youtube?
UPDATE - look in the comments for an mp3 from Gee!
