This fascinating compilation explores the history of the French DMF label, an independent company that documented local rock'n'roll, beat and garage bands between 1963 and 1968.

Featuring 52 tracks by 28 artists, the collection traces the development of French youth music during a period when countless regional groups were inspired by the explosion of British beat, American rock'n'roll and the emerging garage sound. While many of these bands never achieved commercial success, their recordings capture the raw energy and enthusiasm of the era and have become increasingly sought after by collectors.

The DMF label operated largely outside the mainstream music industry, recording and pressing releases for local artists throughout France. As a result, many of these records were produced in small quantities and remained virtually unknown outside their home regions. Today they offer a unique glimpse into the French underground scene of the 1960s.

This CD includes 52 tracks spanning beat, twist, rock'n'roll and garage sounds, accompanied by 52 downloadable documents featuring original DMF EP sleeves, rare band photos and label-related memorabilia. An essential collection for fans of French 60s beat and garage music.
