Gainsbourg,serge - L'homme A Tete De Chou - Music CD

In the fall of 1974, Serge Gainsbourg visited the Paul Facchetti gallery, and stopped in front of an intriguing work created by the sculptor Claude Lalanne: a creation depicting a "man with a cabbage head". "Fifteen times I retraced my steps, then, under hypnosis, I pushed the door, paid cash, and had it delivered to my home," Gainsbourg wrote in November 1976 in a press release revealing the object of the inspiration for his new album. Today considered as "the other" masterpiece of Serge Gainsbourg's discography alongside 'The History of Melody Nelson', 'L'Homme tte de chou' had not yet revealed all it's secrets. Nearly 45 years after it's release, the rediscovery of the multi-track tapes recorded in London in the middle of the summer of 1976 confirms the obvious: behind Gainsbourg's virtuoso talk-over was an extraordinary musical edifice.
