Description
This 3-CD 68-track set presents Brel's most celebrated songs from the first stage of his career. It contains 6 complete albums, 5 of which were originally released as 10" LPs by the Philips label between 1955 and 1961. The sixth album included here in its entirety marked his first LP on the French label Barclay, which he would continue to record for until his death. We have also added 8 bonus tracks, 7 of which were first released on singles or EPs, including his two debut recordings (taped by Philips in 1953 and released that same year on a 78 rpm record). The final bonus track consists of a duet with the French singer Simone Langlois. These recordings chart Brel's evolution from obscurity to one of the most influential European artists of the 20th century.
