Mid 1980's Rock sampler with bands from Lille in the north part of France. The two tracks by Agence Tass are the highlights (this band was recently sampled by Jane Weaver on her Flock album), with the Synth-Punk anthem "Rock à la télé" by Crise De Nerf.

I'm assuming that this is taken at the Powell St. /Woolworth's photobooth. It was a GREAT photobooth, as it was a great Woolworth's. It was two floors, and just HUGE, with a soda fountain/ lunch counter, and a full pet section downstairs. (I'd always go and look for the dead little goldfish in the huge tanks, and there were always some. I even bought a goldfish there, and asked a crazy bag lady what her name was so I could name my fish after her. "ANONYMOUS!" she cackled. So I brought my fish named Anonymous home, and since I didn't have a bowl, I used a glass brick. He died about, oh, 22 hours later.)
We'd go in and could spend hours in there, and it was like walking into a time warp back into the 1940's. Even the hair products seemed vintage, with shelves of Dippity-Doo. They just don't make 'em like that anymore -- the dingy linoleum floors, the orange stools, everything stacked up, muzak and the smell of grilled ham and cheese... it was heaven. I was so devastated when they closed down -- it felt like a San Francisco institution was dying. I went in and bought a ton of cassette tapes for 25 cents, and expired lipstick and, of course, Dippity Doo. They opened a new, small Woolworth's next to that spot, but it wasn't the same, and in its place they put a Gap. A Gap! It's still a travesty to me.
Anyhoo, I digress as usual. There was an entrance to the Powell St. BART station from the bottom floor of Woolworth's (right by the pets, so the dead goldfish hunting was a snap), and there was a photobooth so we'd stop in, and it was an entrance that wasn't very busy. (That's what made it a perfect makeout place with the aforementioned J.W.)
I don't know what day this was, but my, Andrea is fancy in her beret, and I've got my CROSS EARRING on. I think there was only one. I had painstakingly grew my hair into a mod girl bob, got sick of it, and hacked it all off. In fact, I hacked at it while talking on the phone. Teen multi-tasking.
I have known Andrea since 1st grade, when we moved to California from Chicago. She was one of my first friends here. Which makes her my oldest friend, and she is also the funniest, with a better memory than mine. Every few months we get together with our other old friends, Raina and Andy, and have sushi. We also went to our high school reunion together, an experience I will never forget or repeat. Which is the same thing I said about high school but then I went to the reunion... yuck. The only reunions I need are with the people I loved back then and now. No need to spend $100 to be in a room with crummy people and gross food. Blech.

I found this bill posted on a telephone pole in the Lakeside neighborhood of Chicago in 1985. Since the venue was already over I felt free to take it with me and have had it on the wall at home most of the last thirty years since. The other day I was looking at it and realized that the address sounded familiar. It was the same one I found I had taken some pictures of on the corner of Southport and Belmont last month and posted here. I did a little research and discovered that the bar Gaspar's, was located where the bar Schubas now is. I only have a side view of it taken from the car but was tickled to see it was the same location as the "Blue Room" played many years ago. It sounds like they were a New Wave or Punk band. Gaspar's closed a few years after that.
I think the image on the poster is an old etching of The Tower of Babel. Not sure why they chose that but I like it. I miss the Eighties!
Here is a history of Gaspar's:

Scarce French Synth-Pop single. Considering the phone number on the back cover, i'm guessing that this artist was also from the North part of France.
1985 French pressing on CA label.
Three singles by Altered Images from the early 80s. Never really one of my favourite bands -I thought they were not that good compared to the bands on Postcard Records. Interesting to find out in Simon Goddard's book, 'Simply Thrilled: The Preposterous of Post card Records,' that (Wee)Clare Grogan, band singer and, later, tv personality, was a big Orange Juice follower in the band's early days and that Alan Horne (Postcard supremo) wanted to sign them to Postcard Records.
Will have to post a photo of the band's 'Dead Pop Stars' cassette-single.
French postcard in the Collection Cinémathèque Suisse by CVB Publishers. French poster for Alphaville: une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution/Alphaville: A Strange Adventure of Lemmy Caution (Jean-Luc Godard, 1965).
Craggy-faced Eddie Constantine (1917-1993) was an American actor and singer who spent his career as a tough guy in European films. He became famous for a series of French B movies in which he played Private Eye Lemmy Caution, based on the hero of the detective novels by Peter Cheyney. Jean-Luc Godard used his character of Lemmy Caution for his science-fiction-like film Alphaville (1965), nowadays the best-known film with Constantine. In the 1970s he played in German films, a.o. by Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
