Salut Les Copains! / Recentissime! Bonus Tracks edition

Digitally remastered release including five bonus tracks and a 16-page booklet with rare photos, vintage memorablia and detailed liner notes. **Johnny Hallyday** was

France's biggest rock star and one of its most colorful cultural icons. His sense of Rock & Roll style, with all its rebellious trappings, was impeccable, and his legacy still remains undeniably electric. This essential CD presents two of Hallyday's finest albums from his early period: the smash *'Salut les copains!'* (1961), which kicked off the so-called "yé-yé" era of French Pop and made him a full-fledged teen idol, plus the underrated but equally splendid LP, *'Recentissime!'* (originally released in Italy in 1962).
