Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Depuis 1966, Serge Gainsbourg enregistre ses albums à Londres. Il se laisse dès lors gagner par la vague pop qui déferle sur la capitale britannique et commence à mâtiner sa poésie d'un franglais délicieux. Les 20 titres de cette compilation en sont une parfaite démonstration, de "Requiem pour un c...", tiré de la bande originale du film Le Pacha, à "Sous le soleil exactement", tiré de celle de la comédie musicale Anna, en passant par l'intégralité de l'album Initials BB. On se régale alors du sublime hymne du même nom à Brigitte Bardot, du duo de la belle avec Gainsbourg, "Bonnie And Clyde", des savoureuses onomatopées de "Comic Strip", des remarquables "Bloody Jack", "Ford Mustang" et autres "Black And White". Les jeunes amours de Gainsbourg et de Jane Birkin ont donné naissance à "69 année érotique", à "L'Anamour" ou encore au sulfureux duo "Je t'aime moi non plus", qui fit scandale de l'Angleterre jusqu'au Vatican. Aujourd'hui, toutes ces chansons sont autant de classiques à inscrire au répertoire de Serge Gainsbourg, dont elles affirmaient le génial talent. Elles n'ont pris aucune ride et rendent cette compilation carrément incontournable. --Sylvie Devilette

Dirty Old Man Of Popular Music,
By Martin 13 (Slovenia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comic Strip (Audio CD)
Great collection of Serge Gainsbourg songs recorded from 1966-1969. I became intrested in Serge when I bought Mick Harvey's first album Intoxicated Man. This collection is 100% French pop. 20 fabulous songs.Here you can find a fabulous erotic number "Je t'aime...moi non plus", some collaborations with Brigitte Bardot (Bonnie and Clyde, Comic Strip) or Jane Birkin (69 anee erotique, Je'taime...moi non plus) and one of my favourites "Les succettes". Very listenable and enjoyable compilation.

French pop from the swinging sixties,

This review is from: Comic Strip (Audio CD)
Requiem pour un c... has an interesting rhythmic texture, whilst Bonnie and Clyde (a duet with Brigitte Bardot) is a slow, meandering ballad. Initials B.B. is another slow number with Serge in talking vocal style over an orchestral backing. The title track Comic Strip is a lilting pop number with interesting vocal effects and a catchy tune. Chatterton has nice organ lines, Bloody Jack is a singalong ditty embellished with great female vocals, Docteur Jeckyll et Monsieur Hyde is typical 1960 European orchestral pop and Torrey Canyon has a bouncy pace. Shu Ba Du Ba Loo Ba is an uptempo ditty whist the slow ballad Ford Mustang has an interesting interplay between the male and female vocals. The rock feel and urgent pace of Qui est In, Qui est Out are welcome at this point and are also evident in Hold Up, a lively pop song. Marilu is lighter, but with a charming melody, bright vocals and some great handclaps. Sous le soleil exactement is a gentle soulful ballad in Serge's sexy style, which is echoed in 69 année érotique with its languid female vocals framing Serge's ruminations. L'anamour is another gentle ballad with a memorable tune. The album concludes with Je T'Aime, his famous ballad with Jane Birkin, the erotic masterpiece that was a huge hit worldwide. Compared to the same era's pop music from the Anglosphere, there seems to be more emphasis on the lyrics than on melody throughout the album. The music is more orchestral than François Hardy's tuneful folkie style from the same period. Comic Strip is an interesting window on the talent of Serge Gainsbourg who will always be remembered for the magnificent Je T'Aime (Moi Non Plus) in the rest of the world.

Brilliance Personified,

This review is from: Comic Strip (Audio CD)
Great collection of hits by the biggest...... in the history of pop music. This collection includes none of the questionable new-wave and neo-reggae efforts of the later 70's and 80's, so it's great from beginning to end. Interesting to see just how innovative Gainsbourg was, especially rythm-wise. The classic "Initials BB" makes some of the best modern hip-hop beats seem trivial.
