Serge Gainsbourg

Widely regarded as one of the most influential works in Gainsbourg’s career, this record marked a bold stylistic shift that sparked both controversy and acclaim in France.

Recorded with legendary Jamaican musicians, the album embraces Reggae rhythms and production while maintaining Gainsbourg’s unmistakable lyrical identity. By reinterpreting traditional French musical and cultural references through a reggae lens, Aux Armes Et Cætera challenged conventions and redefined the boundaries of French popular music.

As an original 1979 French pressing, this vinyl stands as a historically significant release—an essential piece for collectors and a defining moment in the fusion of French chanson and reggae music.
