LIMITED EDITION CLASSIC LPs

HIGH-DEFINITION PREMIUM 180 GRAM VINYL PRESSING FOR SUPER FIDELITY

INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACKS

This special vinyl release presents one of Hallyday’s most iconic albums from his early period, Johnny à l’Olympia – which includes Hallyday’s second visit to the famous Parisien music hall (located at nº 28, Boulevard des Capucines). It was recorded live in October 1962, and originally issued by the Philips label on November 2, 1962. The LP kicked off the so-called “yé-yé” era of French pop and made Johnny a full-fledged teen idol.

In addition to the original album, this WaxTime collector’s edition contains 2 bonus tracks from the same period: impassioned readings of “Souvenirs, souvenirs” (widely regarded as a classic of French rock) and Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti”.

A versatile vocalist, Hallyday’s inviting style lent itself to edgy rock & roll and romantic ballads. This is an essential set for listeners who want to hear the early sounds of Johnny Hallyday.
