Which brings to mind the latest "integrale" 15CD box set of the late great Belgian Jacques Brel, which I think trumps the old one box set by 5 discs. Anyone heard this artifact? For those in the US dustygrooves is carrying it. Sure to please the Scott Walker & Rod McKuen fans on the list. --- renaudbertrand2 <renaudbertrand2@wanadoo.fr> wrote:
Hello there, A friendy warning about Pierre Bachelet, you should stay away from his post-Emmanuel work if you encouter some in the French Sound library. PB turned into a big but cheap variety singer in France during the 80s. With years passing he also developped an astonishing ressemblance with the late Jacques Brel; If some of you know and appreciate Brel be careful while buying his records just after a look at the cover. You could be surprised.

IIRC, while Pierre Bachalet wasn't responsible for the entirity of the score, he did have something of a hit track from the first Emmanuelle film. Very catchy tune. Anyway, the soundtrack to *Emmanuelle* is pretty easy to find on Silva Screen.
Which isn't the case (AFAIK) with the second film *Emmanuelle: Joys of A Woman* . . . a pity. Lai is marvellous.
Portions of Gainsbourg's score (and his hit *Goodbye Emmanuelle*)are available on various compilations.
Check out alternate versions here:

Didn't realize that Anchor Bay had released a collectors edition box set of the first three films, thanks for the heads up Skip.
BTW:
Emmanuelle 4 has got to be one of the *preposterous/strangest* movies I've ever seen. Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle) tires of her body (!) and undergoes "extensive cosmetic surgery" re-emerging as the actress Mia Nygren. Score by Michel Magne & available on DVD (Soft Touch Video).
. . . parallel to this devlopment there were some pretty fantastic soundtracks being laid down to the Black Emanuelle series, but that's a whole different story . . .
The scores to Brigitte Lahaie's films are well worth seeking out as well - extremely fun stuff . . . though you'll most probably be digging deep into French Sound Libraries & compilations of said stuff.
NP. Asian Massive NR. Boris Vian. Foam of the Daze. (Tam Tam) which is worth it for the annotations alone.

Pierre Bahelet did the first, Lai the second, Gainsbourg the third (of the orig three with Sylvia Kristel.
The DVD is available at Amoeba -- The Emmanuel Collection (a three-dvd set). Each movie has a little (20 mins or so) doc as a bonus feature as well. Nice set. That goes double for Sylvia Kristel.

I haven't seen this film since my teens - but what stays in my mind is the soundtrack. Is it not the same theme played in various styles. I thought somone like Lai did the soundtrack work. Also it's hard to find a copy of this film soundtrack or even the DVD. The sequels are around but the original soundtrack.
