Grown in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, as the daughter of an unmarried mother, Francoise Hardy was given a guitar on her sixteenth birthday for passing the exams to her baccalaureat. She answered a newspaper advertisement looking for young singers and signed her first contract with the label Vogue in 1961. In April 1962, shortly after finishing school, her first record “Oh Oh Chéri” appeared, written by Johnny Hallyday’s writing duo. Her own flip side of the record, “Tous les garçons et les filles” became a success, riding the wave of Yé-yé music in France, with two million sales.

This is her second studio album, which like several of her early albums, was released with no title, except for her name on the cover. In the UK ist got released as Françoise Hardy – In Vogue.
