Background
Falstaff comprised bassist Eric Mallet, percussionist Jérôme Halbout, guitarist Laurent Labouret, and keyboardist Stéphane Joly. Halbout entered the École normale supérieure in Paris in 1978 for doctoral study in geochemistry, where he also played and produced music. Joly graduated from Sciences Po with a history degree following seven years of classical piano study and early work as bassist in a jazz trio.
In 1981, Falstaff used 16 boulevard Arago in Paris as a contact address. The quartet booked Studios Charlotte and Solaris with engineer Jean-Luc Fauvel for debut-album sessions.
