Does any one in France know this band? It is from 1968, supposed to be the first French hippy psych band. Their records are collector's items but one just was released on CD, The first song on their only album is a translation into French on a song by a friend of mine. It is called Super Girl Can anybody tell me what the lyrics are in French? |

If I could find out how to make an mp3 out of an AIFF in the latest version of Itunes, I could send you the file. You used to be able to do this, but now I don't see how. Do you know how? |

Thanks Dav. If this works for Mac. I will do it. Here's more about the band:
LES FLEURS DE PAVOT
Title: Les Fleurs de Pavot
Label: UNDERGROUND MASTERS (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: UM 009CD
"Originally released in 1968, the now impossible to find self titled album by Les Fleurs De Pavot is considered as the first psychedelic/hippie record from France. A veil of mystery surrounded the real origins of the band at the time... according to their press release, they were formed by a couple of hippies, Groovy Pat from London and Jesus from San Francisco who met at some Soft Machine shows in Paris... the reality was more unglamorous: Les Fleurs De Pavot were in fact a twist band called Bourgeois De Calais, transformed into exploitation acid-eater hippies by their manager JP Rawson. The album was produced by the genius tandem of Jean Claude Vannier (famous for his involvement on Gainsbourg's Melody Nelson album) & Bernard Estardy (Nino Ferrer's organist / sound engineer). An explosive mix of psychedelic pop, yeyé music & bizarre studio experimentation featuring 12 superb tracks full of fuzz guitars, groovy vocals and swirling organ with very explicit drug related lyrics. Music ranges from mod psych dancefloor smashers like 'A Degager' to the final six minute lysergic freak-out 'Le Rateau De La Meduse' and even one cool bossa track." |

The AIff is 21.2 MB. I could e-mail you that, maybe if you can handle it. I tried Audacity for Intel Mac ( which is what I have--but no Windows) and it wouldn't convert to MP3. Said something about Lamelib which I didn't understand. |
