The music junkies at Light In The Attic are always on top of the reissue game. Rumor has it that they're going to concentrate primarily on reissues from now on and it looks like they're off to a good start...

Histoire De Melody Nelson is the 1971 masterwork of the sleaziest (but somehow still cool and sexy) Frenchman to ever live... the late Serge Gainsbourg. Histoire is largely held as his masterwork - a concept album reinterpretation of Nabokov's Lolita, by way of french beat-poet hipness. Even if dirty old men aren't you thing, you have to hand it to Serge - he was one... cool... dirtbag.
