Brigitte Fontaine - Est... Folle🎶🇫🇷

This album needs no introduction, but the 2nd LP is also excellent, with demos, instrumentals & a live radio track. A fascinating 20 page booklet completes a superb job by @wewantsounds.bsky.social. Right up there with the best reissues of 2025

@wewantsounds.bsky.social have done a stunning job on this Bridget Fontaine reissue. The packaging is simply beautiful. As for the music, I'll report back soon as I've been at work all day. I have never heard this album before, so this is very exciting.
