"If you ask any fan of GAINSBOURG which songs they like best,chances are they they will have many sung by FRANCE GALL,BRIGITTE BARDOT,FRANCOISE HARDY,JANE BIRKIN,R?GINE,JULIETTE GR?CO etc.There are only a few duets featured in this collection.If you don't have anything from him,it is certainly a good overview of his career, even if i prefer the 3 cds DE GAINSBOURG ? GAINSBARRE.There is a booklet with a short biography,and each disc is in an enveloppe with a different picture of SERGE through the years.The famous HISTOIRE DE M?LODY NELSON a concept album ,is featured in it's complete version which is a good thing, but i wonder why they did not included L'HOMME ? TETE DE CHOU,another concept album that is only featured in a track.I ,like many enjoy best the early GAINSBOURG.In his last years,the autodestruction seems to have an effect on his oeuvre."
