'L' Integrale' Pussy Cat

A recommendation by George_the_Librarian

First to recommend

A little campy, but very cool!!!

From Evelyne Courtois' MySpace:
Evelyne's music career started in 1964 with one of the only French all-girl bands, Les Petites Souris (the Little Mice). The band recorded one EP in 1965 before splitting. Adopting her stage name from Tom Jones's song: "What's new Pussy Cat" and teaming up with ex-Pingouins drummer, Gérard Hugé, Evelyne recorded a mixture of R&B covers and original songs between 1966 and 1969.

Her back catalogue has been reissued on Magic Records, including some unreleased cuts that didn't make it onto her original releases. She has a gutsy vocal style that compliments the energetic garagey backing.

Stand out tracks include: "Les temps ont change"; an early feminist anthem: and a definitive version of "Stop!"
