- Really underrated find in my opinion, not a lot of clean copies out there but there’s something about this pressing that makes me come back for more. Very unique sound.
This is the LP Serge Gainsbourg transposed note for note to create "New York USA" (Akiwowo), and also "Joanna" and "Tatoué Jérémie" on his 1964 "Percussions" LP !
