Gainsbourg, Serge / Goraguer, Alain Strip-Tease LP Vinyl

Vinyl LP pressing. Another side of Serge Gainsbourg permeates this 1963 film soundtrack about "a stripper lost in the nocturnal world" of Paris, according to director Jacques Poitrenaud, who cast Nico in the lead role (after her appearance in La Dolce Vita and just prior to the single she cut with Jimmy Page for Andrew Loog Oldham). Created by Gainsbourg with arranger and longstanding collaborator Alain Gourager, the music is fittingly the cool jazz of dingy nightclubs and seedy bordellos, with Gainsbourg on piano, and there's the sultry title track, delivered breathlessly by Juliette Greco. Another lost gem for all serious Gainsbourg fans.
