Les Douze Premières Chansons de Léo Ferré (English: The Twelve First Songs of Léo Ferré) is an album by Léo Ferré, released in 1969 by Barclay Records. The singer records once again the songs he taped in 1950 on behalf of the label Le Chant du Monde, for 78s releases. Back then he had accompanied himself on the piano and technical conditions weren't top-notch. For this release Ferré is backed by a studio orchestra and delivers the songs with plain charismatic vocal maturity.
This album has a lot of tasteful accordion and jazz hints, which convey a great frenchness feel.
All songs written and composed by Léo Ferré, except three of them.
