Most wanted and iconic record, the psychedelic Québec rock anthem by the best known songwritter, musician & singer in french tongue outside Québec. Robert Charlebois started in Montréal on stage in 1962 and released his first single "La Boulée" in 1965. In the year 1967, he left Canada to California where he met various american counterculture artists such as Frank Zappa and discovered the psychedelia movement which durably changed his vision of music. In the year 1969, he caused outrage when he performed with his "gang" at Olympia concert hall in Paris. Later he played at the Festival Pop of Toronto and took part in 1970 to the Festival Express summer rock tour on the pancanadian train with Janis Joplin, The Band & The Grateful Dead. "Lindberg" includes the famous Quatuor du Jazz Libre du Québec featuring Louise Forestier, the songs "La Marche Du Président" written by famous Québec poet Gilles Vigneault, the single "Lindberg/California", the psychedelic hymns "Egg Génération" & "Engagement" composed by Marcel Sabourin, and "Long Flight 500". All tracks arranged by Robert Charlebois.
