ROBERT FFRENCH

Post by Roddy »

Arguably one of the most underated singer in the eighties. I have an opportunity to get only one of his copies and was wondering which is worth listening too.


The Favourite
( http://www.roots-archives.com/release/3453)

or

Anthony Johnson Meets Robert French
http://www.roots-archives.com/release/4245

Thanks

They are both similar in sound. The both employ a synth drum. The Favourite is better. Acting Strange and Cut Eye Cut Eye being standout tracks.

'The Favourite' would be a wise choice. Also pick up Robert Ffrench 'Wondering' LP.

Not that Robert French Meets Anthony Johnson is a bad record. It's good. But Favourite is just slightly better.

Label is Parish, matrix is PR001, year of release is 1987 (that's why it's not in the Archives).

you say that bellyman but ive seen lps listed from after 1985. for example:
http://www.roots-archives.com/label/384
and thats just a few that ive seen. i totally agree with keeping the years strict b/c of late 80's crap but you gotta make exceptions for certain lps like that skengdon selection you already have on here. i dunno just my opnion though.
