GILBERT BECAUD
Volume 2 -
3LP Columbia EMI Set - Deluxe Collector Jacket -
2C 156-16078/79/80 -
VERY BEST!




In a country that produced the likes of Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel, there was a chanson singer who indeed, for a time, was heralded as much as Elvis was on this side of the Pond.

His name was Gilbert Becaud and this 3LP set is a tribute to his memorable compositions and vocal stylings during the years 1956 through 1959.

The set presents itself in an embossed heavy-duty plastic jacket, with three sleeves inside, surrounded by pictures of this fine and enormously popular singer/songwriter.



Selections include LA CORRIDA, QUELLE JOIE, PATTE BLANCHE, LE PIANISTE DE VARSOVIE, SALUT LES COPAINS, INCROYABLEMENT, LE MAGICIEN, POUR QUI VEILLE L'ETOILE, RANTANPLAN, VIENS DANSER, ALLELUIA, PILOU, HERMANO, LA CRUCHE, and MARIE, MARIE, among others.

Robust collector's jacket is without fault, as are all original materials enclosed, the three records play near mint.

For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
