16-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Nicolas Magenham.

In collaboration with Warner Chappell Music France, BMG and Jean Musy, Music Box Records proudly presents a 3-CD set featuring seven French soundtracks composed between 1980 and 1984: Les Fourberies de Scapin (composed by Jean Bouchety), Le Fou du roi (co-composed by Dominique Perrier and Sam Bernett), Exterieur, nuit and Polar (both composed by Karl-Heinz Schafer) and Les Fausses Confidences, Le C?ur a l'envers and Le bahut va craquer (all composed by Jean Musy).

The first disc features two remastered LP reissues dedicated to two period films. This program highlights the work of Jean Bouchety for an adaptation of Moliere’s play and that of Dominique Perrier and Sam Bernett for the swashbuckler movie parody: classical and traditional music with twirling tarantellas and other dance tunes, as well as epic pieces. The second CD features two inspired scores by Karl-Heinz Schafer for director Jacques Bral, underlining his unusual voice with sophisticated and atonal strings, bandoneon, saxophone, harmonica, solo violin and ethereal singing. The third disc is dedicated to Jean Musy, a prolific arranger and composer for cinema and television, featuring the remastered LP reissues of his three scores and showcasing his musical diversity: a classical baroque sensibility, a tender-hearted atmosphere and a light-hearted melody.

This remastered 3-CD box set includes a 16-page booklet with liner notes by Nicolas Magenham, discussing the films and the scores. The release is limited to 350 units.
