Following the success of the Record Store Day edition of Serge Gainsbourg's Le Pacha OST,
Wewantsounds is delighted to release The normal edition of the 1968 cult score on single
LP sleeve (with 2pp insert) and CD.
It features Gainsbourg's classic "Requiem Pour Un Con" together with a previously
unreleased instrumental mix and two bonus tracks from the 1968 "Mister Freedom " OST.
Digitally remastered from the original tapes, this is the first time the full soundtrack is
released on vinyl in its entirety.
These tracks were composed by Serge Gainsbourg at the height of his 60s cool when he
was briefly going out with Brigitte Bardot and they were about to record the infamous first
version of "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus." All the tracks here are arranged by famed arranger
Michel Colombier, who had been responsible for some of Gainsbourg's best songs ("Bonnie
& Clyde" and "Harley Davidson") and had also arranged Pierre Henry's classic "Psyche-Rock"
around the same time (Check the similarity between "Psyche-Rock and the track with "Un
Noel 67" on this set.). Many of these 60s nuggets blending 60s pop and psychedelia are
doing their vinyl debut.
This release includes the never-heard before full instrumental version of the "Requiem Pour
Un Con" with its famous breakbeat and two bonus tracks from William Klein's 1968 film
"Mister Freedom".
It is pure undiluted Gainsbourg with his classic psyche-pop sound of the late 60s.
