I thought I would let you all in on this great event, happening in Quebec City this Thursday, July 16, for the Festival Off de Québec.

Call me Poupée will be performing, along with a 15 piece orchestra, songs from 1970s soft core Quebec movies, such as L’initiation, Valérie, Après ski, etc.

The event will also feature my better half Otis Fodder, as well as Satan Bélanger and Mingo of Les Georges Leningrad fame.

In 2007 I posted the Après Ski soundtrack, find it here.

À bientôt!

Here is the complete A-Side of the soundtrack to a 1971 Québec movie called Après Ski, with music by Jacques Crevier & son ensemble. Most people would refer to this movie as “soft core”, but I don’t think it even came close to that. It was, to put it simply, a sex farce with very little content, like the British “Carry On” movies, maybe.

In those days the province of Québec had just gone through the Quiet Revolution and had finally broken itself free from the conservative and manipulative Catholic Church and from the Duplessis government. Sex, drugs, Catholic Church words used as swearing, etc., quickly became socially tolerated. That’s why so many movies like this one started popping up in the province in the late 60s and early 70s (“L’initiation”/”Valérie”, etc.), moreso than in the rest of Canada.

The B-Side of the soundtrack are pop songs by Quebec artists of the time. The movie starred Daniel Pilon (who later became an American soap opera star) and Céline Lomez. Even René Angelil had a small part.

I love how IMDB lists “Fingering” as the first keyword search for this movie.

This record somehow found its way into record collectors’ want lists, and is now worth a ridiculous sum of money because of it. I suggest you just download it here instead.

Le grand Marc
L’âme de feu
Le doux renard
Les yeux brûlants
La course endiablée
