First time domestic reissue of this classic from B-Music and Light In The Attic. This deluxe version pressed on crystal clear wax features glossy gatefold packaging with obi strip, extended liner notes and a 1971 interview with Serge. Original Lab review:
Fans say this is French rebel icon Serge Gainsbourg’s masterpiece. And it’s got beats. Although broken into a few different movements, Histoire De Melody Nelson is a singular piece of work held together with Serge’s gravel lyrics, a recurring tar-pit bass and the story of Melody Nelson. The album is bookended by “Melody” and “Cargo Culte” which both utilize the album’s centerpiece- that haunting bass that you will recognize from the Beatnuts’ “Superbad.” “En Melody” also deserves mention for the great intro and controlled spazz guitar work (sampled by De La). Serge was a legend – banned in many countries for his blatant sexual and political messages, loved by women despite having a “head like a cabbage,” always centered in controversy and usually producing interesting work. In Serge’s later years, he attended an awards show and told Whitney Houston “I want to fuck you” on live TV. ODB would be proud. Recommended.
