Idly checking ebay for records by Jean Claude Vannier, the producer behind Melody Nelson by Gainsbourg, I saw, among the 50 quid for dodgy one off singles (JohnnyHalliday? Not something you'd take a risk on) I noticed that there were new CDs. Now where there are new CDs like as not there are new records. Sure enough Finders Keepers records launched a couple of months ago with the release of L'enfant assassin des mouches on CD and me pleasing vinyl. The legendary 'follow up' record to Melody Nelson. I've just ordered it (happy birthday me!). Hurry up post. You should go too. Are you any less deserving than me?

Ou-la-la!!! Johnny reminds me the early sixies with his French stylled pop-rock before Beatles. Later, 1970 in Rio and 1981 in Paris, I could see him in outrageous performings. He s more than a good singer(he s not), a performer, a real 'beast' in concerts. I used to hear him in 'Retiens la Nuit', a nice song. Good to see something about him. Le vieux Johnny. Voilá...
