Some words on this issue: FONTAINE, BRIGITTE: “3” (Saravah/ Nippon Columbia – YS-2731-SH) Top original copy with always missing obi!!! Scarce Japanese original pressing out of September 1972 in top-notch condition. Comes with 12 paged booklet, complete with liner notes by enfant-terrible and free jazz promoter Aida Aquirax of Abe/Takayanagi/Graves/ Lacey and Bailey fame This was Fontaine’s third album released on Saravah and produced by Pierre Barouh and flanked by a stellar cast that included Areski, Georges Arvanitas, Jacques Higelin, Phillipe Mate amongst others. “This self-titled LP is a more successful and listenable bridge between her pop and experimental impulses. For one thing, Areski only co-wrote a couple of these tunes and is not often heard on vocals. More importantly, the content is less jarring and more appealing, though equally eclectic. "Brigitte" has the sort of jazz-pop-make out music mix that will entice fans of Francoise Hardy's 1971 album La Question. "L'Auberge," by contrast, could pass muster on a classical LP, sounding like a pious church hymn. Most of the material falls between these two poles, including some spoken poetry and pieces on which Fontaine is backed by little more than African-sounding drums. It's worth checking out for fans of fractured '70s art-pop with progressive and jazz influences.” (Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide). A classic album out or early seventies France that successfully blends avant-garde tendencies with psychedelic folk moves, intoxicating female vocals and a fragrance of pop, in short a masterpiece. Rare original 1972 Japanese pressing with all intact and present.
