This Play Time compilation is an attribute to the great work of French composer Raymond Lefebvre (1929-2008) who was, like Louis de Funes a pianist.
The whole album is made of the music, he composed for the Gendarmes Serie which is with the Fantomas Serie the most popular movies of Louis de Funes. This CD, as it should have been a very good commercial sale was confirmed and re-release 5 years after, more complete, with additional music in the CD Louis De Funes, Vol. 1 also by Play Time.
This CD, for me, is a turning point for the record companies like Universal or Sony, who sees the high potential of selling this type of popular movie music. Even though OST buyers are from another world which SST is the jewel case.
There was, previously a former sale test released in 1988 from a German (vielen Dank!) label Hortensia that I think disappear with other soundtracks from Louis de Funes' movies. Like Bryan Singer's X-Men which re-launch the business of Super Heroes movie (Spider-Man,
Superman Returns…), this CD has made possible the re-recording of many old French comedies, some from De Funes, like the Fantomas serie CD but also Delusions of Grandeur , the amazing The One Man Band (Bidibidi-BA!), Don't Look Now: We're Being Shot At & The Sucker with Bourvil or More recently the excellent release of The Exchange Student-The Gazebo CD in 2011.
The wonderful collection from Universal écoutez le Cinéma will have never been created without the success of this compilation.
*Request List - Important tracks to be pointed out* :
- 07.Faites Sauter La Banque: Galipettes is coming from a memorable scene in the begining of the film, when a nice attribute to silent movies is made. You can imagine the play of the actors in this scene by listening to the music.
-05.Le Gendarme De Saint-Tropez: "Douliou Douliou Saint-Tropez is the main theme sung by Geneviève Grad who plays Nicole De Funes' daughter in the movie and it is a standard today like My Heart will go on.
-12 Le Gendarme A New-York: Entrecote Story is an attribute composition to West Side Story and so is the corresponding scene where they fight for a piece of meat, an Entrecote.
-23 Jo: Generique should be the main titles of the American version of this movie Joe: The Busy Body also known as The Gazebo.
-26 Le Gendarme Et Les Extra-Terrestres: Amplitude Siderale who will inspire the E.T. theme, track 33, La Soupe Aux Choux: Oxo La Terre made 4 years later !
-35 La Soupe Aux Choux: Final who hit the record as it was played 58 times until today (3/14/2012).
Bloopers :
-19 Le Gendarme En Balade: Marche Des Gendarmes (Version 70) there is a Bloopers at 00:47 one of the singers made a mistake and starts with an "La" instead of whistling like all the others.
I need also to tell you that Mr Raymond Lefebvre & son orchestre became very famous in Japan during the eighties as you can see in many videos on the net.
Not only conducting his own orchestra, he often plays himself different instruments.
Here are links to two videos that better shows what I told you.
In Video01, the introduction is taken from track 24 Le Gendarme Et Les Extra-Terrestres: Rencontre Du 4eme Type. Video02 is an orchestra version of Quincy Jones' famous song Ai no corrida.
I. Raymond Lefèvre Live in Japan '89 Capriccio Rhapsodie

II.Raymond LEFEVRE LIVE IN JAPAN '84 vol.02 (Ai no corrida orchestra version)

Hoping my review has taught you more on this great French composer who died on 27th June 2008 and is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery div 8 Paris city.
