Our Take

Ah, the notorious Serge Gainsbourg, the man with a head of cabbage, or as the French say, L'Homme A Tete De Chou. This picture disc reissue of Gainsbourg's 1976 concept album is a delightful treat for both the eyes and ears.

From the moment the needle hits the grooves, you know you're in for a wild ride. The title track sets the tone with its funky bassline and playful lyrics about a man with a head of cabbage. Gainsbourg's signature croon seduces you into his twisted world of love, lust, and kitchen gardens.

Tracks like "Variations Sur Marilou" and "Ma Lou Marilou" showcase Gainsbourg's cheeky wordplay and penchant for scandalous storytelling. The arrangements, featuring lush strings and jazzy horns, perfectly complement Gainsbourg's devil-may-care attitude.

But it's not all fun and games. The album's darker moments, like "Tete De Chou" and "Cha Cha Cha Du Loup," reveal a vulnerability and pathos beneath Gainsbourg's suave exterior. This isn't just a novelty record; it's a deep dive into the mind of a musical genius.

So, whether you're a die-hard Gainsbourg fan or just curious about the man behind the cabbage, this picture disc is a must-have addition to your vinyl collection. Bon appétit!
