Gainsbourg Lhomme tte de chou on Vinyl

Description

In 2010, the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 28th greatest French rock album... considered as 'the other' masterpiece of Serge Gainsbourg's discography, alongside 'Histoire de Melody Nelson', 'L'Homme à tête de chou' - a concept album about a man in his forties falling in love with a rather free-minded shampoo girl - had not yet revealed all its secrets - until now! Almost 45 years after its release, the rediscovery of the multitrack tapes recorded in London in the summer of 1976 confirms that behind Gainsbourg's virtuoso talk-over was an extraordinary musical edifice. The new mix for this 2023 release rebalances the vocal and instrumental parts while retaining its original intent.
