Review

Rolling Stone (4/11/02, p.108) - Ranked #45 in Rolling Stone's "50 Coolest Records".
Rolling Stone (3/6/97, p.70) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...showcases his tempered embrace of Americana and climaxes with richly sexual selections like `Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus,' from JANE BIRKIN AND SERGE GAINSBOURG..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/14/97, p.63) - "...a distinctive song stylist whose eclectic wanderings made him a national treasure in his native France, and a dissolute demi-god to the alternative-rock community....[COMIC STRIP]...chronicle[s]...Gainsbourg's...pop...excursions to eye-opening, often hilarious effect." - Rating: A-
Q (12/96, p.166) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...there's enough evidence...to prove the crow-visaged nihilist could swing--albeit mordantly..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/00, p.117) - "...Wildly ahead of his time..."

Title Note

Personnel includes: Serge Gainsbourg, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin.

Recorded between 1958 and 1969.

Around the same time Bob Dylan went electric in Newport, several thousand miles away in France Serge Gainsbourg, hip avatar of all things French, embraced the modish Carnaby street rock & roll sweeping England and America, producing some of the most vital music of his career, not to mention the sexiest. For a man whose personal appearance had been described as a handicap, Gainsbourg managed to produce some of the best pre-Prince makeout music on either side of the Atlantic.

The breathy "Je t'aime... Moi Non Plus," a duet with Jane Birkin, oozes the scent of the boudoir, and her vocals on "Comic Strip" and the sublime "Bonnie and Clyde" (later to be sampled by Mc Solaar) prove that Brigitte Bardot's assets weren't confined to the visual. Add the rave-up "Docteur Jekyll et Monsieur Hyde," and you have the makings of a heck of a cocktail party.
