Celine's old french albums from the eighties

[preciousillusions2012]

Hi! Celine fans

 

My name is Alyssa and I'm thirty years old. I'm from Henderson, Kentucky and I was born in Sandpoint, Idaho. If you canadians have been fans of hers since the eighties when you were young kids and teenage kids. If you bought some records, cassette tapes and CDs in thirty one years ago. I can upload some old pictures of Celine's french albums. Take a look at these ones. Thanks. Alyssa.

I was just listening for Visa Pour Les Beaux Jours tonight, and thinking what a fabulous up-tempo song it is - such a happy, young message, and she sounds fabulous! Her old stuff gets overlooked sometimes, but it's so, so good!

Nice simple webpage to listen to "old" stuff and read the lyrics:

(Just click on the chapter, then on the album, then on the songtitel and the music starts)

'C'est Pour Toi' is definitely my favorite pre-Sony album. Edited January 8, 2013 at 06:49 AM by Celine Fan 77

I love her early stuff, I listened to her entire catalogue last year.

[LuisMa]

"Incognito" is my favorite of them all, and my favorite pre-Incognito song is "Je Ne Veux Pas" with "Fais Ce Que Tu Voudras" coming a close second.

[sayyed]

How can anyone not appreciate the perfectness that is Pour Vous.

[Daysleeper]

I hope we will get those great albums remastered on cd one day... I don't understand why it didn't come to their minds yet.

[Celine Fan 77]

I am really into 'C'est Pour Toi' this month. It's a wonderful album and definitely my favorite track is the title song. Here's my top 5:

 

1. C'est Pour Toi

2. Les Oiseaux Du Bonheur

3. C'est Pour Vivre

4. Pour Vous

5. Tu Es Là

 

At first I hated the song Amoureuse but ever since I heard the live version, I'm in love with that song! How I wish she would have promoted more this album, 'cause the promo tour was only the TV special to mark the release of the record, the 'C'est Pour Toi Tournée' and few TV appearances in Quebec and France.

[Davey84]

Her 80's stuff is amazing!! I love how she developes throughout the years. Incognito, Les Chemins De Ma Maison & Melanie are my top three albums

[Javito]

C'est Pour Toi is my favourite one too. Eddy Marnay was truly a magician with the pen I like all the songs in this album, especially C'est pour toi, C'est pour vivre, Elle and Les oiseaux du bonheur. But I have a special feeling with Avec toi :wub:

 

I miss the old days when she cared still about this early material. Remember when she introduced "Elle" in Paris during the Olympia concerts in 1994? I wish she did that again and more often

[LuisMa]

^ "Elle" on that CD is gorgeous. And of course, another of my favorites is the song that started it all, Ce N'Était Qu'un Rêve.

[Daysleeper]

My favorites:

D'amour ou d'amitié (one of my favorties of entire career)

Seul un oiseau blanc

Mon rêve de toujours

Paul et Virginie (aka Virginie.. roman d'amour)

Fais ce que tu voudras

Billy

Le vieux monsieur de la rue Royale

En amour

Je ne veux pas

Trois heures vingt

C'est pour toi

Comment t'aimer

Off the top of my head my faves would be:

 

Visa Pour Les Beaux Jours

C'est Pour Toi

Comment T'Aimer

Je Ne Veux Pas

En Amour

A Quatre Pas D'Ici - Bucks Fizz baby!!

Think i'm gonna have to listen to these now!

[LuisMa]

 

Think i'm gonna have to listen to these now!

 

That's what I love about these topics, that they rekindle interest in stuff you probably have stored somewhere, or are the iTunes songs that you don't normally play.

[Alex_Incognito]

It's such a shame that the majority of these songs aren't available on CD. We're lucky France released "Du soleil au cœur" back in 2007. I think "Les chemins de ma masion", "Melanie", and "C'est pour toi" house some of the best recordings of her career,

[Celine Fan 77]

Right now I'm watching the 'C'est Pour Toi' TV special from 1985. It's amazing that they filmed her singing ALL the songs from the album! It's also a very entertaining show and i recomend to everyone: go and watch it!

[preciousillusions2012]

Yeah!.

[Celine_Fan_1992]

I love Celine's 80's albums and I have most of them.

[tiniann88]

Think about how much money Sony would make if they re-released theses albums on CD.

I would include all the German songs (Was Bedute Ich Dir, Mon Ami Geh Nich Fort, Hand In Hand, Nur Das Lieben) and unreleased songs (Stay) as bonus tracks.

[Celine Fan 77]

Absolutely, they should re-release all this material!

This is such a shame that these old albums are not available to buy on a CD. I love them so much.

[celine4evauk]

They were so quick to release Shania's (before Mutt) songs, but never Celine's. Just don't understand Sony sometimes.

[Daysleeper]

Maybe it's a question of rights for the songs. I don't understand how it works. Someone who understands it could explain. I don't know what happened to her ex labels Saisons and TBS which released her '80 albums. Still Sony released some of those songs as a part of "On ne change pas" in 2005.

[Celine Fan 77]

Also one of her early albums (I think 'Du Soleil Au Coeur') was released on CD in France back in 2002, was it released by Sony Music?

[Bruno Dion]

Also one of her early albums (I think 'Du Soleil Au Coeur') was released on CD in France back in 2002, was it released by Sony Music?

 

Yes! By Sony Music. It features 15 songs...

[Daysleeper]

Also one of her early albums (I think 'Du Soleil Au Coeur') was released on CD in France back in 2002, was it released by Sony Music?

 

Yes that's correct! Sony Music France released it under the label Sony Music Media. I just went to check. The original release was by french record label Pathé Marconi. So I guess they got rights for the French market. It's the same for "Les oiseaux du bonheur" in 1984.

 

As we can see, all those songs released in Europe (francophone countries) between 1983 and 1988 by the labels Pathé Marconi/EMI and Carrere could be found on various unofficial compilations such as "Les premières années", "For you", "Gold collection" etc.

You can't find on those compilations any of the songs that were released only in Canada.

 

On those compilations we always see the same tracks over and over. There is only one exception and it is CD called "The Early Singles" which included "Ce n'était qu'un rêve", "L'amour viendra" and the instrumental version of "Ne partez pas sans moi". But all those songs were released in Europe in '80.

[Celine Fan 77]

Then the early songs included on 'On Ne Change Pas' were not the only ones Sony Music bought, they may own them all now...

[Daysleeper]

Yes, I guess. I don't know how it works actually.

 

But I think it's a shame that they didn't release all those albums on CD yet. They were popular in Quebec at the time and they received awards too.
