Johnny Hallyday

2.LPs ON 1 CD

INCLUDES 9 BONUS TRACKS

This essential CD presents two of Hallyday’s most celebrated albums from his early career: the magnificent and long unavailable Viens danser le twist, and the equally splendid Sings America’s Rockin’ Hits. These two titles were released in the early ‘60s by the Philips label, and consist largely of French adaptations of American classics of the era. They feature 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 collector’s edition also contains 9 bonus tracks from the same period. This is an essential set for listeners who want to hear the early sounds of Johnny Hallyday, and for any devotee of original rock & roll.
