Ever since I tried to sort out my records in the garage over a year ago and found that quite a few were missing I've been busy scouring Record Fairs looking to replace albums that had disappeared. Now I've just got into the habit of vinyl shopping so when markets appear on the calendar I'm there. At first I walked slowly round sifting through the records and not engaging with the sellers. Now it's a time to catch up and talk music. And I've moved away from albums and I'm looking for brilliant 45s. Last market I was at I ran into Paul Elliot whose Polyester Records released 100 Drugs by my band. Also ran into Bruce Milne who owned AuGoGo Records which released our early singles and first album.
Asking after his wife Adele he informed me she was now playing bass in a French sixties pop YeYe band called Le Minijupes. Which got him on to raving about a song referencing Paul McCartney coming over to help with some teenage girls homework.
Intrigued when I got home I googled the bits of info he gave me and found it to be "7 Heures Du Martin" by Jacqueline Taeib. A song I loved already. The bit I would refer to though is her "talking bout My G-g-g-g-generation" So I started playing this song again. Every now and then I go through a French Pop phase so I moved onto France Gall and Bridgette Bardotte and Francoise Hardy. Compiling a playlist on iTunes and running it through Apple TV the house was filled with French pop. Until the family can't take any more and plead for some English words. I should have played the English version of this I guess.
