Offenbach

" Les Grands Succès Barclay "

* Rarely seen on eBay *

Barclay 75020, 1974 original issue/pressing (Canada)

Offenbach's early "prog/psych-era" releases ( i.e., their coveted Holy Trinity....."Soap Opera", "Saint-Chrone de Néant" and "Bulldozer" ) were recorded by the band while they were signed to the Barclay label. When Offenbach dropped the label in 1974, Barclay quickly released this limited double-LP as part of their twenty volume "Grands Succes Barclay" series.

Tracks here include the entire "Soap Opera" set as well as most of the recordings from the "Saint-Chrone de Neant" and "Bulldozer" LPs.

This 2-LP comp has now become quite hard to find !!

With original members Jean (Johnny) Gravel (guitars), Gerry Boulet (piano, organ,vocals), Michel (Willie) Lamothe Jr (bass), Roger (Wezo) Belval (drums) and their last with co-founder Pierre Harel.
