In the mid-'60s, sex kitten Brigitte Bardot released a series of mildly popular pop records, the most interesting of which being her collaborations with Serge Gainsbourg. Early on in her singing pursuits, rock video-type films were generated for each of her songs. The tracks on this "Brigitte Bardot Show" serve as a soundtrack to her long forgotten television show, which she produced and which served as a stage for her to perform her hits. The album contains 15 songs, five of which are instrumentals. The vocal tracks range from gentle ballads to bizarre psychedelic romps, all with an over-the-top theatricality and sung with a humorous pop assault. For fans of hip obscure French pop there are a half dozen groovy go-go tracks like "Harley Davidson" and "Contact" while for those of us who have long been hopelessly in love with the lovely Bardot, there is the sultry and dreamy "Mister Sun". While there was never any expectation that she would be asked to perform arias at the Paris opera house, her recordings are very fun and certainly entertaining (Zac Johnson in AllMusic)
Voici le tout premier 25 cm de Brigitte, paru en 1963 sur Philips (B 76569). Agée 28 ans, B.B. pose sur la pochette en collant noir et pull rose, sa chevelure blonde relevée en chignon. Elle est assise sur une jolie chaise sur fond vert. C’est très sobre et très suggestif en même temps. L’album s’ouvre sur un titre bourré de punch signé Gainsbourg: “L’Appareil A Sous”. Un délice de jeux de mots sur un twist effréné, chorus de guitare à l’appui. Lorsque l’on connait l’admiration sans borne de Gainsbourg pour B.B., c’est une déclaration à peine déguisée, chanson à double sens dont il se fera le spécialiste par la suite. Pour les morceuax de jazz, type “C’est Rigolo”, “Les Amis de la Musique” et “Everybody Loves My Baby” (standard des années 20 où l’on peut savourer son «accent» british) on sent l’influence de Claude Bolling.
