18 track compilation of cult '80s French rock band Les Calamités, includes their biggest hit "Vélomoteur" and tracks with the bands the Dogs and The Barracudas. They delivered many covers, which gave an idea of the origins of their songwriting: one foot in the fifties (on the dancefloor), the other in the sixties (in the garage). All of this leading to their final hit, a successful incursion in the top sales with a popular song for everyone to hum at ease, from seaside campsites to the cool kids of the capital. Everything the Calamités touched, with their classy, rigorous, casual ways - plus just enough amused detachment - turned into gold.
