Product Description

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the French vocalist. Stella was the anti-y-y girl. France had never heard anything like her. A Parisian schoolgirl, she was an agent provocateur who lampooned jolly pop girl Sheila, lamented that France was in thrall to American archetypes, reconfigured Bob Dylan and satirized weekend trendies. This expanded edition, first-ever reissue of the only album France's Stella issued in the '60s irresistibly captures all facets of who she was before she abandoned pop and began working with the jazz-influenced band Magma in the 1970s, whose Christian Vander she would marry. Without Stella, it is impossible to understand who Stella Vander is. She laid the table for the raspberry-blowing musical cheek of Jacques Dutronc and echoed Serge Gainsbourg's raised eyebrows. Her records were fantastic - pop art-style cut-ups, inside-out psychedelia, wonky soul and rough-edged garage rock. Stella took on French pop and made it her own.
