ALAIN SOUCHON
ON AVANCE (1983)
320 KBPS
This album witnessed Souchon come back to the music after 3 years devoted to his acting career. It's also the first album not to be produced by his long-time friend and main composer, Laurent Voulzy. I won't lie to you, it's not a perfect album, it has some pretty crappy songs such as "Les Papas des Bébés" or "Lily Peter". Some songs are really good though. "On Avance" remains one of his classics, "Lennon Kaput Valse" is another nice one, and the duet with Michel Jonasz, "On est si Beau" is another. But the main problem with this album might very well be his very 80s sound. Some will like it, some will hate it and, if it fits the songs, it certainly is an acquired taste.
Overall, this is not a bad album, just not up to the five album previously released by Mr. Souchon and inferior to its follower, "C'est Comme Vous Voulez", too. That doesn't mean it is to be avoided as there are enough good moments to try it.

Oh, I must disagree with you on some (minor) points : First, I do like the two songs you think are so-so... And I think this effort is much better than "C'est Comme Vous Voulez", my least favourite album by Alain Souchon. Anyway, I agree with all the rest, although I'm biased since I'm a dedicated Souchon fan :-)
Thank you for this one...

Thanks for all of the alain souchon.
I have liked this album for 20 years and only had a long lost cassette.
Do you have any Isabelle Mayereau? I live in Australia and there is none here. Even amazon.fr has very little.
Sorry, I don't have anything from Isabelle Mayereau.
