In 1954 and 1956, the radio recorded Jacques Brel's first live performances in the cabarets Chez Geneviève and Chez Gilles. Accompanied only by his guitar, the newcomer to Paris delivered, with the confidence of a future star, his first compositions, including the song Quand on n'a que l'amour, captured here several months before the studio recording that would be released as a 45 rpm.A real gem! In July 1965, at the height of his career, Jacques Brel recorded a jam session at the Maison de la Radio, during which he gave us a deeply moving version of Amsterdam, accompanied only by Gérard Jouannest on piano and Pierre Sim on double bass.The B-side features a live recital recorded for the show InchDiscoparadeInch at the Alhambra in 1962, where the artist-now far from his intimate beginnings-is accompanied by a piano and a string ensemble.

In a truly extraordinary career, which has seen him active in eight different decades, Dion DIMUCCI not only still records and performs regularly, his albums continue to win industry awards. This compilation of his classic early sides, eleven of which were recorded with THE BELMONTS, is drawn from EPs issued variously in the US, the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Spain, Australia and New Zealand, between 1958-62. It includes the pick of his early hits, both with The Belmonts ('I Wonder Why', 'No One Knows', 'Teenager In Love', 'Where Or When') and solo ('Lonely Teenager', 'Runaround Sue', 'The Wanderer', 'Lovers Who Wander', 'Little Diane'). Also featured are a selection of minor chart riders (e. g. 'Don't Pity Me'), a rare flop, a number of popular flips (e. g. 'The Majestic'), and a handful of killer album tracks (e. g. 'Dream Lover').
