Details: Product Description Remastered Greatest Hits Collection by One of the Most Famous French Groups from Quebec. Amazon.ca A flagship group of the 70s, Beau Dommage created songs that have become classics over the years. "La complainte du phoque en Alaska", "Tous les palmiers", and "Dimanche au soir à Châteauguay" are now widely known tunes, and thousands of Quebecers have recognized themselves in these catchy, funny, and tender lyrics. This anthology brings together all the hits from the beginning, including some slightly forgotten titles like "Amène pas ta gang", "Montréal", and "Motel Mon Repos". This two-CD set also makes it clear that the source of inspiration, extraordinarily rich at the start, eventually dried up. It is difficult to place a little marvel like the "Cha-cha-cha Ginette" (1974) and the banal "Échappé belle" and "Rive-Sud" in the same category, written 20 years later for a highly publicized and very lucrative reunion of the group members. It is also a pity that the booklet is not up to the standard of the songs: we would have liked more photos and a history of the band. Nevertheless, this anthology remains a must-have for fans of Beau Dommage and Quebec music. --Jean-Yves Girard
