Any recommendations? There's something about the female vocals over a cheesy tune that does it for me.

I recently picked up a cracking double A-side repress of two tracks from 1967:

Delphine - La Fermeture Eclair / Clothilde - Fallait Pas Ecraser La Queue Du Chat 7"

Both sides are magnifique but am keen to hear more stuff. All I have in the way of comps is one old Bardot best of and the two more recent Swinging Madamoiselles efforts and all three are superb but I just know there's gotta be a whole host of more great stuff.

Go to google blog search and have a rummage there. I am sure you will find something!

Milchman, I've just looked, actually I've got Ultra Chicks 1 & 3 , not 2 and 4. Oops.

I would happily take you up on the offer of vinyl rips tho.

I can return the favour with Wizzz! Vols 1 & 2 which are not necessarily all female, and the tracks are more psych, but with a heavy dose of kitsch.

I don't know how you all feel about blogs, but I quick search has turned up this:

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it already but there's a comp called Femmes de Paris thats pretty good .. Some obvious stuff plus some interesting French covers of Paint it Black, Nights in White Satin etc. Its on iTunes I think

On a similar note, I bought this great comp recently:

Swinging Mademoiselles volume 3 out now!

(That's volume three in the original vinyl series, not the CDs)

Only 1000 copies pressed. The other two disappeared pretty quickly, so get it while you can.

This will apparently be the last in the series.

The complete Clothilde recordings now available on limited edition vinyl.
All eight tracks form her two eps, plus two of the same songs sung in Italian.
