SERGE GAINSBOURG L'Homme A Tete De Chou (2009 US 12-track LP pressed on 180gram VINYL, originally released in 1976 this is GAINSBOURG's 2nd 'concept' record, after the stone classic 'Histoire De Melody Nelson' & probably 2nd only in quality to that record in his deep, storied catalog. Translating to 'The Man With The Cabbage Head' this is a brutal story of lust & obsession in which, over the course of the album, the narrator falls in love with a black shampoo girl [Marilou],beats her to death with a fire extinguisher & ends up in a psychiatric hospital. Featuring lush orchestration & a variety of influences, from reggae to rock to funk to country, this is a crucial part of the musical history of one of France's most famous, & certainly most controversial stars.
