One of my favorite albums ever.

Gainsbourg's best-known record is brilliant for sure, still, don't miss on 4 or 5 others that are almost as good as this one. I'd advise L'Homme à tête de chou, Vu de l'extérieur and Initials B.B. as well.

Cheers for the recommendations, I've heard bits and pieces, mainly compilations though. Will try and build a more comprehensive collection, beginning with these suggestions. Respect.
