I'm terribly sorry to tell you that Gilles Raffier of Pop the Baloon Rds 
passed away a few days ago. He was an influent person in France for Pop with 
his independant label. 21 releases on vinyl or cd with Bill Retoff, Paul 
Collins, Dwight Twilley, Dom Mariani, Danny Mc Donald, Masticators.... He was 
my friend, a real pop freak, an honest guy, a music lover. Thanks you Gilles 
and God bless you
GERARD
