1.		Sings Jacques Brel by Scott Walker Price: £2.98 Customer Review: At under £4.00 this has to be the bargain of the year if not the century. Scott Walker does a great job of interpreting Jacques Brel's songs - my only complaint is that there are not enough of them. I love all of the tracks some of which have been covered by other artists such as... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Initials SG by Serge Gainsbourg Price: £4.98 Customer Review: An engaging introduction into the compelling music of the man who, in his own lifetime, was regarded as a French national institution: Serge Gainsbourg. This compilation provides a broad and chronological overview of his career; it begins in 1958 with the jazzy strains of 'Le Poinconneur Des Lillas... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Ne Me Quitte Pas by Jacques Brel Price: £9.98 Customer Review: I came to this album already knowing some of Jacques Brel's songs through English translations, and I suppose I was already a sort of proxy fan. Judy Collins, Scott Walker and others popularized Brel songs in the 60's and 70's, but it was still a revelation to me when I was given a vinyl version of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Extraordinary Garden: the Very Best of Charles Trenet by Charles Trenet Price: £6.98 Customer Review: I only realised that Charles Trenet was the singer of such classics as La Mer when he died. I am not of his era, but I bought the CD and it is superb. I can put it on in the car, in the middle of stalled traffic, and be transported to the French countryside. And my 3 year old daughter also fell in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The Best of Edith Piaf by Edith Piaf Price: £3.98 Customer Review: I think the previous reviewer failed to grasp these are original recordings not digitally remastered for the latest medial players,recorded in 1960's music hall's and theaters, the muffled bits ! add to the atmosphere and authenticity of the recordings, some where even recorded on cylindrical... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Essential Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen Price: £9.27 Customer Review: This compilation has served as my introduction to the work of Leonard Cohen having only heard a few cover versions of his songs before purchasing this. It is a most impressive set and almost all the material hits the spot. The only slight gripe I have is that Len has shown a slight bias towards his... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Les Chansons D'amour by Francoise Hardy Price: £2.98 Customer Review: I'm surprised this has got such superb reviews and bought it on the strength of these. I've previously bought Messages Personnels and Comment Te Dire Adieu which have some of the tracks from this album and whilst they're still good on this album, I find them much harsher recordings of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes Price: £4.98 Customer Review: This album ranks in the top 50 albums of 2008 lists of a fair few very well respected music publications. It was also recommended to me by this very site as well as by a colleague who has similar musical tastes to mine. However, I felt this album was very much overrated. It's ok, it's fine, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Scott 4 by Scott Walker Price: £6.08 Customer Review: I come to this album in reverse, ie, i started with The Drift, then i got Tilt and then one of the many 'Best of' Scott Walker compilations that seem to be around (but have nothing of Climate of the Hunter onwards for reasons i can't figure... i've listened to a fare few songs from each other the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
