Tender Pervert
Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson [537 183-7 FRA 2016 24-Bit FLAC] Originally released as a vinyl album on Phillips Records in 1971. Ripped here from the 2016 180gm repress. In all essence a Lolita fantasist concept album from the French master, in brief an aging Gainsbourg knocks the young Melody off her bike whilst whizzing through the French countryside in his Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and the record details his seduction. The music is an eclectic mix of psychedelic funk, lush choral orchestrations and Gainsbourg's lustful narration. Jane Birkin, obviously, plays the role of his obsession. Seemingly a major influence on a diverse range artists such as Portishead, REM, Stereolab and Barry Adamson, Histoire De Melody Nelson is an essential introduction to anybody wishing to explore the mind & music of Gainsbourg.
