Description
Métaphysique Du Hit-Parade is the
first vinyl compilation devoted to
Pascal Comelade’s favourite cover
versions. It spans a forty-year career
and traces sixty years of rock and roll history along the way. “Sheena Is a Punk
Rocker” becomes a soft, soothing lullaby that may well have made the Ramones
weep. Then there are his idiosyncratic tributes to Jonathan Richman (“Egyptian
Reggae”) and The Kinks (“Sunny Afternoon”), alongside nods to formative heroes
such as The Gun Club, Captain Beefheart, and MC5.
Two exclusive recordings stand out particularly: Bob Dylan’s “Girl from the North
Country” and Nirvana’s “Come As You Are”—a song that shaped my early youth.
Both were recorded especially for this release.
