This is the classic 1969 album that Serge and Jane Birkin cut together, and every track is a groovy French classic of the sort that made Serge a legend! The arrangments are amazing, and feature some of the weirdest instrumentation ever heard on a pop record – especially one that was as successful as this. The tracks are insane, and even though the lyrics are in French, you'll be able to get more than enough of them from the sexy interpretation! Highlights include "Je t'aime… moi non plus", "69 année érotique", "Jane B", "Elisa", "Orang Outan", and "Manon".

This album is an excellent example of how good recording quality can be achieved by using only two microphones (one stereo mic) recorded direct-to-two tracks tape. It was recorded by David Manley, the founder of hifi manufacturer VTL (and Manley Labs).
Although two-microphone may not be able to achieve thimbre details of each and all instruments recorded as compared to "close miking" technique, but the most important benefit is the correctness of spatial information, so ideally the listener will be able to "re-create" the soundstage as what it was in the recording room.
I would like to recommend this album for people who appreciate natural sound quality, especially for those using "fast dipole speakers" (e.g.: electrostatics or other planars)
