France Gall is a compilation album by French singer France Gall, gathering material from her period with the record label La Compagnie.[1] Released exclusively in Canada in April 1969 as her only LP for the label, it contains tracks previously released on EPs and singles, along with two new Italian-language songs.[1][2]

Background

The album brings together material from the 1969 EPs Homme tout petit and Les Années folles,[3][4] as well as the 1969 single "Baci, baci, baci".[5] It also introduces two new titles, "Il mio amore è una ruota" (presented as "La ruotta") and "Matrimonio d'amore".[1] The later compilation Ses grands succès (1973) by Musidisc features the same core material, but exchanged these two songs for three others.[6]
