Jacques Berrocal "Catalogue" LP issued by d'Avantage (DAV 03) in France, 1979. Three panel gatefold sleeve. ****** Rec:m- / Cov:m- ****** Offered here is the rarest title on the d'Avantage label, or Jac Berrocal "Catalogue" gorgeous LP in three panel gatefold sleeve. Perfect mint conditions! This original LP was released in 1979 in a limited edition on Berrocal own d'Avantage label. "Catalogue", with its overt theatricality, is every bit as wild as the previous "Paralleles". Not really jazz, not rock, having nothing to do with contemporary music either, "Catalogue" is a kind of sonic postcard which features not the group of the same name but instead numerous Berrocal associates including Potage (co-founder of the d'Avantage label in 1976), Parle, Ferlet, Pauvros and recording engineer Daniel Deshays, plus many musicians from the French underground collective scene of the 1970s. Not content with manhandling a toy piano on "Tango" (which features mind-blowing accordion from Parle), abusing an arsenal of instruments including saw blades, pistols, shower attachment and even gingerbread, Berrocal pushes his own voice way over the edge on "Incontrolablslaooo" and "Faits Divers", moving from a 60-a-day smoker's cough to a terrifying sequence of gargles and vomits. The grungy free rock of "No More Dirty Bla Blaps", the Portsmouth Sinfonia-like spoof Dixieland of "Rideau", the distressing punk of "Signe Particulier" and all manner of fields recordings and cut-ups in Berrocal's Artaudian theatre style, combining the excesses of glam and punk cold-wave to post-1968 Situationist perspective. "Catalogue" represents the most experimental and complex of Berrocal's records, as historical as contemporary modern, classic and at the same time as fresh and strange as if it had been recorded last week. During the same year Steven Stapleton frequently travelled to Paris to meet Jaques Berrocal and discuss a possible collaboration. In 1980, Berrocal travelled to London with his pocket trumpet and Tibetan oboe and recorded with Stapleton, Heman Patak and John Fothergill on NWW's second album, but that's another story.
