Pussy Cat - Boof! The Complete Pussy Cat 1966-1969 (2014 RPM)
Pussy Cat was the most tough sounding of France's '60s ye-ye girls. She looked to Britain for her inspirations, not home-grown, upbeat Gallic pop. She covered Small Faces, the Moody Blues, the Hollies and the Zombies. Her original songs - she was a rarity and wrote her own - were energized, hard edged, melodic and stomping. She put a French twist on the Mod era. BOOF! Is the first-ever Pussy Cat - born Evelyne Courtois - collection to be issued outside France.
Her complete '60s recordings, including two tracks unheard at the time, are collected. As a special bonus, her debut release, a 1965 EP with the band Les Petites Souris is also collected. They were France's first all-girl band. At age 17, she was their guitarist and wrote their songs. She was a pioneer. Pussy Cat took her name from the Tom Jones song 'What's New Pussycat'. She toured France with him. This package is the ultimate tribute to France's one-woman musical dynamo of the 1960s.
Really great collection if you like sixties french girls pop.
Have fun

Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard some (but not all) of her stuff before. Her music has a lot more of a garagey edge than one would think by looking at the cover. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with her and don't speak French so it was fun spotting the original versions thanks Frank.
