Track of The Day: Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.(Philips)


Released in that Frenchest of years, 1968. This wonderful piece of pop psychedelia is all about the lyrics, the delivery, the piano and the horns. The horns specifically are very much a frozen in time moment and, whether they resemble those used in other tracks or not, always remind me of the brass section in ‘You Set The Scene’ by Love off ‘Forever Changes’. But that’s just me. Definitely a moment frozen in time, and definitely Balearic.
