Reviews
Intimate, literate, and designed to make you squirm, just like Serge Gainsbourg. An excellent recording and transfer. Probably helped sell more tires than any of the idiotic commercials produced for just such a purpose.- This is the rare original version of the album, which was withdrawn after Michelin cited trademark infringement in both the song "Michelin Man" and the cover art (which originally depicted a hippotamus drawn in the style of Michelin's mascot Bibendum). The version now available omits the offending track and has a re-drawn sleeve.
