 Enjoyed It February 21, 2008
An upbeat album, though short, I enjoyed it. Both critics and fans points about her music are valid. Fortunately in this album, the volume of her vocals and the instruments are well matched. Unhappy to find that I couldn't read this album on my computer CD drive and upload it. (Came from Russia)

... especially knowing that she's a murderess who shot and killed her fiancee "Spider" Sabich back in '76.

Historically this is very very 60's in a very kitschy and endearing way. Not anything more unfortunately
Claudine Painting Music In "Colours" May 6, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
"Colours" -- the title of this album of songs interpreted by and delivered by the French songstress Claudine Longet describes the music as well as the performer artist Herself!
While Claudine's magical mystical whispy vocal style is mesmerizing on all of Her recorded works, THIS album, "COLORS" may be Her finest album of them all.
Of the eleven tracks included, all of them being more than enjoyable, i might single out several: Two Donovan penned songs -- "Catch The Wind" and "Colours" (which Claudine captured the spirit of the songs purrrrfectly!) . . . "For Bobbie (For Baby)" . . . and "Am I Blue".
My personal all-time favorite song on this or on any of Claudine's albums is "I Believed it All (Didn't You?)" -- what a poetic wistful nostalgic reminiscence of childhood and its hopes and fears and dreams! Claudine's magic makes this song seem so much like it could be any of our childhoods being re-presented. The album is worth gettijg just for this track alone . . . and all the other ten tracks are absolute gold-mine bonuses! :)
Claudine is a beautiful woman . . . making beautiful music . . . singing beautiful songs . . . beautifully!
Thank You Claudine Longet for all the great recordings You have gifted us with . . . and especially for this magical collection of "Colours"! :)
Claudine's very best work March 4, 2006

Until now, the only way for Claudine Longet fans to hear the Colours album would have been to buy one of the outrageously expensive Japanese import copies. Well, finally Colours is available again and at a very reasonable price. It should be noted up front that this recording is also an import. This time it's from Russia. Who knew that Claudine had fans in Russia? I do have to admit to being surprised and anxious about the anticipated quality of a Russian recording. However, I'm pleased to report that the quality is excellent. This CD is an exact copy of the original A&M Records recording (SP 4163). There are no bonus tracks on this CD. Accordingly, playing time by modern standards is somewhat short at a little over 31 minutes (11 songs). But what a 31-minute collection. In my opinion, Colours is Claudine's finest album. Claudine's low key performances are a welcome counterpoint to the volume blasting vocals of TV contestants that are being passed off as talent today. The CD comes with a booklet that I presume tells you about Claudine's life and recordings. Unfortunately, it's in Russian. I also presume that the Japanese CD comes with a booklet that is in Japanese. Oh, by the way, have no fear, her songs are sung in English.
