TRACKLISTING:
SIDE ONE:
1. EN MELODY
2. NEW DELIRE

SIDE TWO:
1. DANGER (EDIT)
2. DANGER BEATS
3. PREMIERE BLESSURE

•    IN ADDITION TO THE SUPERMODEL ENTOURAGES, THE WHISPER-SOFT VOCAL DELIVERIES AND NOTORIOUS HEAVYPETTING RECORDING SESSIONS, SERGE GAINSBOURG AUTHORED SOME EXTREMELY HEAVY CINEMATIC SOUNDS. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY RARE. THANKFULLY, THE GOOD TEAM AT LE SMOKE DISQUE PACKAGED SOME OF GAINSBOURG’S WEIGHTIEST MUSICAL MOMENTS INTO A DJ-FRIENDLY PIECE OF WAX.
•    LES SELECTIONS DU CINEMA DE GAINSBOURG OFFERS AN ECLECTIC SHOWCASE HIGHLIGHTING THE RANGE OF FUNKY CINEMATIC RECORDINGS SERGE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR. FROM THE HEAVY BACKBEATS AND CLAVINET WORKOUTS OF “DANGER”, TO THE THEATRICAL LUSHNESS OF “PREMIER BLESSURE,” THIS MUSIC CONJURES UP IMAGES OF THE SMOKY PARISIAN AFTER HOURS AS WELL AS THE ELEGANT SOUL OF EARLY-70S EUROPEAN CINEMA. IN ADDITION, THE PRESSING ALSO CONTAINS THE INCREDIBLY FUNKY, “EN MELODY,” NOTABLE FOR ITS SAMPLE CAMEOS ON TRACKS FROM DE LA SOUL TO BECK.
•    NATURALLY, THE SELECTIONS ARE EDITED WITH THE DJ IN MIND TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PLAYABILITY WITH NO
•    BOBBING OR WEAVING - AND THE SONGS SEEM EQUALLY AT HOME IN THE CLUB OR AT THE COCKTAIL PARTY.
•    MAKE SURE TO GRAB TWO COPIES, AS THE PRESSING IS EXTREMELY LIMITED.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
