La poupee qui fait non (She's a Doll) b/w La poupee qui fait non (version instrumentale)

In 1981 a second 222s single, La Poupee Qui Fait Non, was released. The recording was produced by Ex-Harmonium producer and featured the Canadian version of the song written in 1966 by Franck Gérald and Michel Polnareff. 'La Poupee' The record was highly regarded by the French mainstream radio stations, along with the backing of the successful European label ‘Gamma’ who had immediately signed the band, after hearing it. The whole purpose of recording a French song for the band (although it was bilingual in reality) was to be able to finally break into the french radio system and it worked. La Poupée was added to CKOI FM’s regular playlist for example, and The 222s were finally being recognized in their own province and all of it, because of the fact that the song was playing on radio stations all over Québec. The band then received several booking offers from all over the province of Quebec. The song was great, well performed, and was a former hit from the 60's that was loved by a public that our punk band was part of. No other Montreal punk band was able to achieve that at the time.
