Thanks Phil! Seems that so much of the best Gallic '60s has the Jones/Baker names attached. It's certainly the quality barometer for the works of Halliday and Sylvie Vartan; if J&B are involved it's gonna be hip. I know they worked with others besides Ronnie, Johnny & Sylvie. I long for a definitive report! Hard to believe what ge-ne-rock pap Jones eventually cashed in with 🤑😖
Thanks for your feedback, Keith! Completely agree with you about Jones and Brown's high quality of work for ze Frenchies. And, yes, when I first heard the State of Micky and Tommy, I couldn't quite believe my ears and muttered to myself, "This is the same Mick Jones who went on to form Foreigner?!" Well, yes and no. Same guy, different era and approach.
