3 out of 5 stars Her Most Main-stream Album!.......2005-10-14

Francoise Hardy's sixth Vogue album "Ma Jeunesse fout le camp", originally released in 1967, may well be her least interesting 1960's release. Not that it's a bad album; her well-known appealing melancholy is all over it. It can be hard though, to distinguish several tracks from each other, and quite a few tracks suffer from too much orchestration; all in all making it her most main-stream pop-album.

Hardy only wrote about half of the songs, and in most cases her own songs stand out. Though the title track is quite nice, the first track that really woke me up was "Qui Peut Dire" which is the first track that allows electric guitar and drums to come forward; written by Hardy and the only track produced by her husband Jacques Dutronc. Another stand-out is her own "Mais il y a des soirs", in spite of quite heavy strings. "Voila" is another memorable track; a melody and an arrangement that would have fitted the early Dusty Springfield perfectly.

A good album; no more.

5 out of 5 stars NUMBER 6 ORIGINAL IN FRENCH.......2004-02-07

Even if i prefer the previous opus of 1966,i also like this one that includes electric guitar backgrounds on a few tunes.FRANCOISE's romantism is still ever present throughout ,and she does sound more pop on this one without falling on the rock banana.I have never seen a more beautiful album cover.Does she look fabulous at 23 ? MA JEUNESSE FOUT LE CAMP and VOILA were the hits,but for me LA FIN DE L'ÉTÉ is the absolute clinger.It seems that that tune resumes FRANCOISE's life up to that time.

5 out of 5 stars Well i'll be damned.......2003-09-11

Let's just say that if you're into Dusty Springfield, Scott Walker, Arthur Lee & Love, Shangri-Las or the like and you are unfamiliar with Francoise Hardy...check this out immediately. The orchestra stabbed me, the guitars electrocuted me and Francoise Hardys singing kicked... Literally.

5 out of 5 stars Sonic Youth.......2001-05-06

This album is a must-have for any fan of 60s French pop. Avoiding some of the disingenuous disposability of her earlier "yeh-yeh" era songs and the occasionally maudlin element of her later work, "Ma Jeunesse" is an impressively even album. It captures that wonderful time in French music where the technical strengths of the chanson tradition were able to blend with the best influences in mainstream pop in the UK and US to produce something uniquely of its time. Although many of the songs are tinged with a sense of loss, the sobriety is lifted throughout by the strong melodies, written by Hardy herself and a rich variety of collaborators. The highlight is "Des Ronds Dans L'Eau" from the film "Vivre Pour Vivre", a cascading and haunting tune, beautifully sung by Hardy. Like all great albums, "Ma Jeunesse" never rests on its laurels and continues to twist and turn all the way through to to the wistful "C'etait Charmant". I would recommend it both to aficionados and starters in French pop. Sad though that the genre's period of true greatness was so shortlived.

5 out of 5 stars "Qui Peut Dire" Indeed!.......2000-07-08

This album is worth the price for the hard-to-find "Qui Peut Dire," one of the great rock and roll recordings of all time, in any language, in any country, by any artist. Also check out the fine cover version of the song by Outrageous Cherry (also available at Amazon).
