Françoise in Italian is a compilation album by the French popular singer Françoise Hardy where all songs are in Italian language. This compilation was only published in South Africa in 1970 under label World Record Co.[2] It contains ten titles published in singles under Italian label Compagnia Generale del Disco, of 1968 to 1970.
From Italy towards South Africa
Since the release of her first album in Italian, Françoise Hardy recorded many singles in Italian which, while not made into a record of its own, were parlayed into various single collections in Italy. In 1968, when the singer changed distributive firm into Italy,[3] a dozen titles were recorded until 1970 but no album was released, unless one counts a compilation, wherein half the songs were in French with the other half in Italian.[4] At the end of her contract with her former label and after having broken with Vogue, Hardy made this compilation, released under the guise of Hypopotam, the production company she founded in 1970.[5] However, this compilation does not collect those ten songs[6] This compilation was only distributed in South Africa, where Hardy's discs sold well and where she received a positive reception for the tour she undertook there from February 26 to March 16, 1968.[7]
