LES NAPOLEONS French-Canadian LP ** 60's GARAGE / BEATLES *** RARE SEALED!!!!
LES NAPOLÉONS
A GO GO (LP)
UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS ULTRA SCARCE ALBUM FROM OBSCURE FRENCH-CANADIAN 60'S GARAGE BAND, LES NAPOLEONS! THIS ALBUM IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN "MINT CONDITION" ... IMAGINE HOW HARD IS IT TO FIND "SEALED"!!!! ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING (THIS IS THE REAL DEAL FOLKS, NOT SOME CHEAP BOOTLEG EUROPEAN PRESSING), ON PASSE-TEMPS RECORDS, CATALOGUE # PST-17, CANADA, 1966.
“1966's "Les Napoleons a Go Go", offers up an engaging mix of snarling garage rockers and Mersybeat-inspired pop. While isolated ballads such as "Tu es Partie" and "La Vie Sans Toi are okay, the band's at their best on up-tempo rockers such as "Fou de Toi", "Reviens" and "Je M'en Fou". The set's low-fi production feel (again there are no production credits) adds to the overall appeal. Elsewhere their covers of The Beatles' "I Feel Fine" (for some reason mis-translated as "I'm In Love") and "We Can Work It Out" (translated as "Tout S'arrangera") are great. At least to our ears this set's even more interesting for the fact that although all ten tracks are sung in French, the energetic performances more than compensate for the fact the lyrics are largely a mystery. Man, these guys were every bit as good as their Anglo competition.” – Scott Blackerby, extracted from The Acid Archives.
