Serge Gainsbourg – L'Homme A Tete De Chou (Vinyl)
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 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. Housed in a sealed and stickered picture sleeve.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
