The first of two volumes of Universal's Master Serie program devoted to Brigitte Bardot traces the actress-turned-pop star's early recordings from 1963 to 1965. The music is an eclectic mixture of mid-'60s pop/rock, such as Serge Gainsbourg's "L'Appareil à Sous" and "Ca Pourrait Changer," with 1920s-style jazz ("Les Amis de la Musique," "C'est Rigolo") and acoustic ballads like "Une Histoire de Plage" and "A la Fin de l'Été." Bardot is more of an actress than a singer, but she throws herself into her vocals and manages to hit both her notes and the beats without trouble while projecting a winning personality. She is certainly no worse a singer than, say, Marianne Faithfull, to name a British contemporary whom she resembles on the ballads. And while she's no Astrud Gilberto, she holds her own on a samba like "Maria Ninguen." Referring inevitably back to her films, the collection concludes with "Ah! Les P'tites Femmes (De Paris)," her duet with Jeanne Moreau from their film Viva Maria! William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
