One of the seemingly innumerable Philipsera Jacques Brel compilations issued during the 1970s Ne Me Quitte Pas is a doublealbum extravaganza rounding up five songs apiece from his first second and fourth albums and three from his toofrequently overlooked third then rounded out by an apparently random selection of EP cuts There are of course few surprises in store The title track better known to the AngloAmerican public as If You Go Away and Quand on Na Que lAmour Brels first hit single are the most immediate selling points for purchasers seeking a quick introduction to the catalog Sur La Place Les Flamandes and La Mort My Death can be similarly highlighted Where the interest lies for the more serious fan is in the inclusion of such seldom heard sides as Voir Le Prochain Amour and the duet Demain Lon Se Marie None rank among the best of Brel but in breaking the domination of album cuts they do offer something different and that in the fastfilling world of Brel collections is certainly nothing to be sneezed at Dave Thompson allmusiccom
