Reviews5 stars out of 5 -- "Hired to backdrop Gainsbourg's spoken delivery, a whole host of British session musicians provided the rock element, while expert string arranger and medium-term collaborator Jean-Claude Vannier provided one of the most inventive, affecting orchestrations of a psych-into-prog era overdosing on them.", "HISTOIRE DE MELODY NELSON is where Gainsbourg's provocateur streak takes on something resembling grand scale. Lush and languorous...", "Its audacious blend of libidinous slow grooves, distorted rock guitar, and massive orchestration turned it into crate-diggers' gold.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "MELODY NELSON is generally regarded as Gainsbourg's career high....Like LOLITA, HISTOIRE DE MELODY NELSON is a kind of oratorio of desire...", "A bizarre, beguiling concept album....With progressive composer/arranger Jean-Claude Vannier's cinematically swooning strings, loping bass, and twangy guitars.", "HISTOIRE DE MELODY NELSON's skeletal, jazz-like structure - with bass frequently playing the role of lead instrument - influenced a generation of indie-rock tastemakers.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "28 minutes of art-house rock that still stands unrivaled in the history of all recorded music.", "The arrangements seem to respond almost intuitively to the twists in Gainsbourg's language and narrative, to the point where they're carrying as much storytelling weight as the words.", "Now a firm cult favourite, this bonkers slice of Gallic dirty-talk offers a very different kind of French lesson."

Yes he was a paedophile but listen to that production!
Even though this artist was a paedophile and I dislike the French in general I am strangely drawn to the magnificent production and innovation of this 50 year old album. In case you don't know, and if the cover doesn't already suggest the artist is a wrong un, it's a concept album about how Serge knocked a 14 year old girl off her bicycle with his Rolls Royce and then took her home and raped her over a number of days (I understand that this was legal behaviour in France at the time and maybe even now). Best listened to if you can't understand the language...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
