André Popp - If You Go Away
Vinyl LP, UK, 1972
Circle of Sound (Download)
Probably the worst album in my collection that is still, somewhat interesting due to the fact that he knew Boris Vian. André Popp was one of the key arrangers during the post-war years in France. Worked with Bardot and Gréco on their recordings and also with Boris Vian, right before he passed away. Popp in the Fifties made almost experimental ‘lounge’ music, especially for the hi-fi market that was a big thing at the time. Vian, without a doubt, being an mechanical engineer, had an interest in new recording equipment and developments in that world. Would he liked the CD format? Nevertheless this is not an important album to own. In fact it is on my computer, so it is almost not really here in physical space.
