Les Bourgeois (English: The middle class) is the sixth studio album by Jacques Brel. Also known as Jacques Brel, the album was released on Barclay Records on 15 March 1962. Later, on 4 April 1962, a 10" maxi-single containing eight of the album's tracks was released. The same year saw the release of a limited, special edition release of the album that consisted of the original LP with "Jacques Brel" written diagonally across its white cover. This edition was numbered on the front and hand signed on the back.
It was reissued on 23 September 2003 under the title Les Bourgeois as part of the 16-CD box set Boîte à bonbons by Barclay (980 816-9).[1][2]
