Johnny Hallyday

2LPs ON 1 CD Plus 12 BONUS TRACKS

This CD presents two of Hallyday’s most iconic albums from his early career: the masterpiece Tète à Tête (1961), and the equally splendid, and long unavailable, Retiens la Nuit – also known Numéro 2 (1962). Both titles were originally issued as 10-inch records, and contain some of Johnny Hallyday’s finest moments during his early years – when he gained fame as France’s answer to Elvis Presley and the fabulous rock legends of the ‘50s. This remastered collectors’ edition also contains 12 bonus tracks, consisting of all of Hallyday’s most celebrated hits issued between 1960 and 1962, which didn’t form part of the two LPs featured here. This is an essential set for listeners who want to explore the early sounds of Johnny Hallyday, and for any devotee of original rock & roll.
