“Récital 1961” by Édith Piaf - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1961Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s

TJR says

Released in France in 1961, “Récital 1961” was recorded from a concert at L'Olympia on the 30th of December 1960. This was the 4th of 5 LP’s that Edith Piaf recorded live in the intimate 19th century Parisian music hall. This one was particularly notable for a few reasons. For one, it was part of a series of 1960/1961 concerts promised by Piaf in an effort to save the venue from bankruptcy. Also, it showcased her brand new song, “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” her undoubted pièce de résistance. Unlike her other Olympia albums, all of the material here was new to her LP discography.
