Bonjour, je m’appelle Billy Reeves. The Serge Gainsbourg biopic is out now (in France) ‘ entitled La Vie Heroique (naturellement). So, as promised here’s the fabulous Will Kane from ‘World Of Kane’ (worldofkane.blogspot.com) to help us merely scratch the surface of Gainsbourg’s music career. And where better for us two Francophile groovers to chat, but at L’institute Francais in central London - over a glass of Bordeaux. So whether you are a Gainsbourg expert or a beginner (or indeed intermediate), listen to some vignettes from his vie heroique and swoon to his unique chanson. 2010, annee erotique!
Aural issue: the third song: ‘Mr William’ goes a bit funny. Not sure why, will try to mend..it’s all OK after that

This interview is totally raw and uncut. What that means is as it was recorded at the time without edits, so it contains everything from screw-ups, intro's to tracks with no subsequent music, strange background noises, pregnant pauses and idle chatter but that is what makes it so unique. This interview has not seen the light of day in this format since it was recorded nearly 30 years ago.
