2015 French triple vinyl LP - FACTORY SEALED & BRAND NEW.
After 16 years producing superlative lost archive recordings, we are pleased to present our first original recording, Coup Perdu’s debut release, Sine Qua Non, Serge Gainsbourg Re-imagined.
Recorded at Abbey Road Studio 2, no expense has been spared to produce the most beautiful record we could imagine. As followers of Coup d’Archet know, quality of sound has always been our primary concern and we have always sought to work with the best in the field.
Cut to lacquer at Abbey Road, audiophile pressing on 180g vinyl by optimal media GmbH, the 69 minute double album is presented in a deluxe heavyweight matt-laminated gatefold jacket with insert. The first 1000 copies only will be accompanied by 48 minute companion LP, Sine Qua Non Plus, which boasts all the above qualities but in a single stand-alone jacket. Not to be missed.

Gilad Atzmon's ode to Charlie Parker, In Loving Memory of America, recorded with Gilad's Orient House Ensemble and the Sigamos String Quartet, saw repeated plays in the house of Coup Perdu label boss Glenn Armstrong. Also an avid Gainsbourg collector, the idea came for a unique project. Gilad and the OHE were immediately onboard, and Sigamos leader Ros Stephens put together her dream string team. Pianist Matt Bourne also pitched in for the recordings at Abbey Road Studio 2. 'My original brief for this album was that it be intimate and unashamedly romantic....while avoiding cheesiness at all cost. It s an album about love, its manifestations and its symptoms. For obvious reasons, the group of musicians share the name of the album, Sine Qua Non, from Serge s line Tu étais la condition sine qua non de ma raison in Ballade de Melody Nelson.' Glenn Armstrong '... this incandescent splash of warm colours and shimmering textures restores your faith in the human condition - an album that deserves exposure, especially to a non-jazz public who have given up on jazz as a bunch of notes searching for a melody.' Stuart Nicholson - Jazzwise 'A lavish, lush even, collection of quality French popular songs composed by Gainsbourg and lovingly brought to new life... The music is esoteric and beautifully played by all concerned.' Jazz Journal 'Laying bare the beauty of Gainsbourg s melodic invention....The combination of string section with horns, various keyboards and bandoneon results in a fascinating tango/jazz take on Gainsbourg ... A constant throughout is fabulous sound.' Hifi+ (Recording 10/10 / Music 10/10)
