Michel Delpech - 1968/1972 (2026) [Hi-Res]

The "1968/1972" anthology captures the pivotal transformation of Michel Delpech from a pop idol into one of France's most insightful lyricists. This period is marked by his collaboration with composer Roland Vincent, resulting in anthems for an entire generation. The album features "Wight Is Wight," inspired by the Isle of Wight Festival and capturing the hippie spirit, as well as the international mega-hit "Pour un flirt," which cemented Delpech's status as a top-tier star. A special place is held by "Que Marianne était jolie," a political allegory that has become a classic of French chanson. This Label Panthéon release offers a meticulous audio restoration, highlighting the lush orchestrations characteristic of early 70s studio work and Delpech's unique performance style, which blends tenderness with social commentary.
