Featuring only vocals, guitar, and bass, with all original compositions from Gainsbourg, Confidentiel lets Serge's voice take center stage, and his sultry delivery does not disappoint.

Jeanne Dielman present a reissue of Serge Gainsbourg's Théâtre Des Capucines 1963. Théâtre Des Capucines 1963 is one of the earliest live documents of the legendary French singer. Recorded in a brilliant small group setting, featuring only the instrumentation of the fantastic Hungarian guitarist Elek Bacsik and French journeyman bassist, Michel Gaudry, this is Gainsbourg at his cool and minimalist best. This is the same group that recorded that year's near perfect studio album, Gainsbourg Confidentiel. This live recording takes that album's minimal vibe to its sultry and smoky extreme. A beautiful live recording from one of the most famous singers of the mid-20th century.

Rumble Records present a reissue of Serge Gainsbourg's Du Jazz Dans Le Ravin, originally released in 1966. Gainsbourg, the original bad boy of French pop, the man who updated the French chanson and made it hip again infusing it with the youth culture of the late '50s and '60s, ruled by jazz, drugs, and free love. Very different from his celebrated later works, the music captured on this vinyl edition finds Gainsbourg mixing traditional chanson and big-band jazz rather than the avant garde pop that went on to define his career outside of France. This record presents a revealing insight into the early years of this iconic figure.

Collecting some of Serge Gainsbourg's finest early recordings from 1958 and 1959, Indifférente finds the provocative chanteur in his rawest form. Pulled from his first two 10" releases and including live cuts and duets with Juliette Gréco, this is the essential document of Serge's beginnings, not long after his songwriting and singing prowess had been discovered by the famous chanteuse Michèle Arnaud who recorded some of his earliest tunes. If you dig Serge the sex symbol and international pop star, you've got to hear the jazzy, sultry, early chansons that launched him to stardom.

Rumble Records present a reissue of Serge Gainsbourg debut 10" Du Chant A La Une! and its immediate follow up, recorded with Alain Goraguer Et Son Orchestre, originally released in 1958 and 1959. The two 10" records belong to Gainsbourg's chansonnier period, and they're far from that style that gave us his late minimalistic pop atmospheres for which he is well known. But they are already a nice take on Gainsbourg's future smoky night club attitude that later helped consolidate his maudit character, that sleazy sexy mother that seems to be encrusted in the grooves of each of his most famous scratchy vinyl of the seventies. Rumble collect both of these rare gems with Du Chant A La Une! Volume 1 & 2.

"Serge Gainsbourg both charmed us and repelled us, which made him a familiar enigma, a dazzling mystery. Simultaneously Jekyll and Hyde, shy and provocative, modest yet exhibitionist, masculine and feminine, he represents the two extremes of desire and natural urges. Gainsbourg is almost unique in French music. Only he and Léo Ferré developed their own texts and their arrangements to such an extent. Gainsbourg wrote and composed not as an author or a musician would, but like a painter. He used words, notes and instruments as he would have done colors and paintbrushes."

This record is a collection of the tracks written and recorded by master of the French chanson, Serge Gainsbourg and other singers from 1958 to 1959. Notice in passing how the singers of Gainsbourg's early material all had in common a deep and low-pitched voice. From then on, he would try his best to push his songs as much as he could towards the higher notes. Previously-unreleased track "Les Mots Inutiles" was written by Julien Grix (Gainsbourg's first pen-name) in 1955. The lyrics were first modified in 1958 and again in 1962, when this version was recorded for a TV show in Vienna. Interpretations on CD2 by Juliette Gréco, Jean-Claude Pascal, Hugues Aufray, Michèle Arnaud, Alain Goraguer, and Les Frères Jacques. Packaged within a full-color hardcover 36-page book in English and French, with extensive historical liner notes.

2014 repress. "Gainsbourg's fabulous 10" debut album and its immediate follow up -- still on 10" - are now back to life in this Doxy release that collects both these rare gems. Released in 1958 and 1959, they belong to Gainsbourg's chansonnier period, and they're far from that style that gave us his late minimalistic pop atmospheres for which he is well known. But they are already a nice take on Gainsbourg's future smokey night club attitude that later helped consolidate his maudit character, that sleazy sexy motherfucker that seems to be encrusted in the grooves of each of his most famous scratchy vinyls of the seventies.
