Sex-o-rama! (+cd)
What a relief to escape the humdrum, to conquer one's ennui, to spice up the too-long evenings stuck at home... Here's a proposition: SEX-O-RAMA!!! Oh la la, such an aptly named compilation! Rascally El Vidocq this time dares to sway outside his comfort zone. Here humanity's oldest obsession is tackled tastefully, with class. The selection is amusing, but ever well-meaning, for these songs are as stimulating to listen to as they are to dance to! Naturally, our intrepid collector had to roam beyond his habitual '50s and '60s, for the real sexual revolution did occur a tad later... A few seductive caresses of varying insistence (Michele Mercier, Geraldine), a few advances "in due and proper form" (naughty Prince Buster!), an eloquent series of moans and groans (Rita, Armando Trovaioli, Noelia Noel), chance encounters (intransigent Jean Yanne)... not to mention a few exquisite parodies (Jacqueline Mayand and Bourvil, as drole as they are tender)... So hesitate no longer! Stop biting your lip! The sap is rising, as they say, so time for a change of ambiance... Time to slip on some SEX-O-RAMA! SIDE 1: 1. Rita - Erotica 2. Françoise - Hum! Hum!
