Re: Serge GainsbourgAux Armes Et Caetera Full Album Zip
Cherly Fleitas
Aux armes et cætera is one of the first appearances of reggae in French music, though Gainsbourg's own "Marilou Reggae" came earlier; it was included on his 1976 album, L'Homme à tête de chou, which had been recorded in London with non-reggae musicians. "Marilou Reggae" is also included in Aux armes et cætera, in a different arrangement with an extra verse, and renamed to "Marilou Reggae Dub".
In June 2015, Aux armes et cætera as well as both other Serge Gainsbourg reggae albums (Mauvaises nouvelles des étoiles and a live album), all featuring The Revolutionaries with Sly & Robbie, were reissued by the Mercury label in a Bruno Blum-produced, triple CD, "Super DeLuxe", 10" book set. The book text was written by Bruno Blum and features original producer Philippe Lerichomme photographs. Called Serge Gainsbourg & the Revolutionaries, it includes several previously unreleased mixes and versions, such as Javanaise Remake with the 1964 original version-styled "sham-dam sham-dam" backing vocals added in 2002. Other previously unreleased versions include Brigade des Stups, as well as alternate vocal takes of Marilou Reggae Dub, Vieille Canaille (Sam Theard's You Rascal You) and an incomplete Lola Rastaquouère. Previously unreleased recordings from the other two albums are also included, making this set the definitive, complete Gainsbourg reggae sessions set.
In June 2015, at the same time as Serge Gainsbourg & the Revolutionaries, 54 fine dubs (all but one were previously unreleased and cannot be found on the 2003 sets) were issued by the Mercury label in a Bruno Blum-produced, triple CD, "Super DeLuxe", 10" book set named Gainsbourg in Dub. All dubs were mixed in Jamaica by Blum and Jamaican dub master Soljie Hamilton, except for seventeen tracks taken from the live album, all of which were mixed by Blum and Marcadet Studio engineer Bryan Pachaud in France. The book text was written by Bruno Blum and features his photographs as well as original producer Philippe Lerichomme's. Nineteen of them are dub mixes of Aux armes et cætera songs.
This original vintage Serge Gainsbourg poster is a true piece of music history!
Printed in 1979, the poster promotes "Auxarmes et cetera", the fourteenth album by the man with the cabbage head.
At the time of the recording in Jamaica, Gainsbourg had twenty years of experience behind him, but his commercial impact would prove to be limited, despite the enormous public success of "Je t'aime... moi non plus". ".
The album was released two months after recording and Gainsbourg began promoting it on television. The scandal caused by the title track allows the album to see its sales take off by becoming gold disc the year of its release, the first of the artist, followed by a platinum disc two years later.
With this album, Gainsbourg played a founding role in the genre of reggae in France and the impact of Auxarmes et cætera earned him the recognition of many as one of his masterpieces.
The French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 50th of the 100 greatest French rock album. The huge commercial success of the album even encouraged Gainsbourg to get back on stage.
