Françoise Hardy’s Vogue years have left a mark on the history of French and international music. Even today, the 5 years between 1962–67 remain an exceptional moment in her career, the one when she exploded in the eyes of a generation that was born during or just after the World War II, the generation that would be part of the May 1968 Paris protests.

Hardy exploded not only in France alongside her fellow “Yéyés,” but also internationally, where she became the symbol of French elegance, talent and charm. The United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain—no one could resist Françoise, who recorded most of her hits in English, Italian, and German.

Writing for Pitchfork, Hazel Cillis noted La Maison Dù J’ai Grandi “…achieved a “baroque sound [..] that matched the depth of her sorrow and its complexities”, and became “cohesive in sound and subject matter.” This reissue includes 7 non-album bonus tracks, including “Si C’est Ça” recorded live in Paris.

All tracks have been fully remastered
