France Gall, commonly known as Cinq minutes d'amour after its opening track, [1] is a budget album by French singer France Gall. Released in 1976, it is a compilation of three 7-inch records previously released on the EMI label in 1972 and 1973, complemented by two new tracks and two Italian-language adaptations.

Background

The album features the singles "Frankenstein", [2] "Cinq minutes d'amour", [3] and "Par plaisir", [4] together with their respective B-sides. It also includes Italian-language versions of two of its tracks, and two previously unreleased titles, "C'est curieux de vieillir" and "Le Lâche". [5] The release appeared on EMI's budget imprint, Music for Pleasure. [5]

While "C'est curieux de vieillir", backed with "Le Lâche", was scheduled for release as a single in late 1973, the record was withdrawn on Michel Berger's advice to make way for "La Déclaration d'amour". [6] Cinq minutes d'amour remains the only commercial release to include these two songs. [6]
