Details: Amazon.ca Always supported by Jean-Claude Vannier, esthete of arrangements, Serge Gainsbourg anticipates as early as 1971 his variations on the same theme, that of love and its disillusions. The Paris of Saint-Germain-des-Près, which this disillusioned dandy imbued with jazzy culture crosses while refining his acerbic and caustic spirit, is only a distant memory. From now on, Lucien Ginzburg is making headlines by writing a real concept album The Story of Melody Nelson. In 7 compositions, two of which are over 7 minutes long, Gainsbourg recounts the adventures of a boy with red hair, "a friendly little bitch" who will find death on board a boeing 707. A masterpiece particularly prized by fans of Gainsbourg, The Story of Melody Nelson recited by the man who is not yet "The Man with the Cabbage Head" navigates between ballads, waltzes and basic rock. An essential classic. --Sabrina Silamo Product Description Universal. 2004.
