SERGE GAINSBOURG - Les Annes Psychedelics 1966-1971
Despite being a cult favourite for decades now, Serge Gainsbourg remains an enigmatic figure to many, known for little more than his salacious duet with Jane Birkin. For anyone curious as to just how capable this French icon really was, this compilation of his psychedelic output ain't a bad spot to start. This is less of a 'greatest hits' package than a treasure trove with highlights for even the biggest fans of the man. Many tracks were previously only available as very rare 7" vinyl singles or even found on commercially unavailable master tapes. A gifted arranger who was fond of always expanding his instrumental palette.
