“A thousand kisses say goodbye / And then they say you’ll never die / A lonely fanfare blew / And they sing to you / Bye Bye Bye Bye.”
Thus sings the lovely Françoise Hardy – who sadly died this week – in Revenge of the Flowers on Malcolm McLaren’s astonishingly romantic album, Paris. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Sony is re-releasing it for the first time as a double-vinyl album and online to coincide with the Paris Olympics.
