Jacques Brel
C'est Comme Ca
a 2cd set of jacques brel's early recordings which still show him as more of a troubadour than the fullfledged singer that he would emerge as five years later jacques brel et ses chansons was brel's first longplay record even though that term is slightly misleading considering this is a 9track 10inch album that is barely 19 minutes long and has a remarkably different sound from his later albums franois rauber's orchestra which would be a significant element of brel's sound is still absent here and andr grassi's arrangements are much more lightweight relying on few instruments guitar bass accordion are mainly used and strings or wind instruments feature only very subtly also included in this excellent value set are quand on n'a que amour and au printemps with 9 extra tracks
