Sample text
Laurent Tailhade doit la vie sauve aux gendarmes lorsqu’une émeute veut lui faire un sort dans la petite ville bretonne où il passe l’été 1903 ; il a passablement injurié la population locale dans un article paru dans un journal parisien… qui vient d’être repris par la presse locale. Dès lors, sa détestation des Bretons devient obsessionnelle, et il va se venger avec ses armes. Aujourd’hui, on sait qu’il est l’auteur des Filles de Camaret, chanson paillarde qui, peu après cet épisode, fait beaucoup pour la renommée nationale du petit port langoustier du Finistère.

Selon les maisons de disques et les secteurs commerciaux, la conversion à l’album « moderne » prendra plusieurs années. Par exemple, les deux premiers 33 tours de Georges Brassens sont principalement constitués de chansons déjà parues en 78 tours ; c’est seulement en 1954 qu’il enregistre tout un album de chansons inédites. Ses albums sont dès lors écrits et publiés selon le rythme de ses « rentrées » parisiennes, comme Jacques Brel, Yves Montand ou Juliette Gréco à la même époque. Puisqu’on enregistre les chansons par paquets de dix ou douze, on commence à réfléchir à leur cohérence, à leur variété, à leur hiérarchie.
