Details: Product Description Best of Amazon.ca A deluxe digipack compilation with a 40-page booklet full of photos, this disc sums up well the Léo Ferré of the late 60s, a Léo Ferré at the crossroads, between the effective melodies of the 50s and 60s ("Paris scoundrel" , "Pretty kid") and the hermetic monologues of the 70s/80s. Alongside the essential hits of the period: "C'est extra" (1969), which enabled him to seduce the young generation emerging from the May-68 revolution, "Avec le temps" (1970) – covered by Dalida ( 1971) – which makes him a timeless poet, a few successes find a place in the shade of the turntables: "La Vie d'artiste", "Les Poètes", "Poète, vos papiers", "Ni Dieu, ni Master", the anarchist anthem, "La Mémoire et la Mer", which will give the name to the record company of his son Mathieu. Some titles, less known, also deserve attention: "Petite", "La Solitude", "Pépée", "Préface", "L'Espoir". A compilation which runs from the mid-60s to the mid-70s and which will leave in your ears the bitter silence of the one who asks for more and the desire to come back to it. --AB
