I have 300 or 400 girl group albums (half vinyl, half CD's - the majority compilations) and I'm just going to noodle on about them.

At the moment I am obsessed with Jacqueline Taieb. Basically I have just bought up girl systematically for about 18 years and have hoovered a little range of record shops in London (Hanway St, Soho, Camden sometimes, Beano's in Croydon but not for a while) and been to The House Of Oldies and even Amoeba (don't bother) but basically shopped out. So the bidie-in orders us a girl CD from Amazon which never comes and swaps it out for a French Girl CD. Ce Soir Je M'En Vais just blew me away.

Anyway whilst looking for more info on Ms Taeib I come across Spiked Candy which not only points out that my French Mademoiselles is rubbish and is ripping of pair of similarly titled complication. And she has put them up for download - which I am listening to now. Once I have got me head around them I will post more - unfortunately neither of them have any Jacqueline Taieb but hey!.
