A collection of Serge Gainsbourg's legendary first three albums, originally released in 1958 (Du Chant a la une!), 1959 (No 2), and 1961 (L'Etonnant Serge Gainsbourg), and all hailing from a time when Gainsbourg was still just another struggling chansonnier. In fact, success initially eluded the young Gainsbourg, but early classics like "Le Poinçonneur des Lilas", and "La Chanson de Prevert", give listeners a taste of the immense talent that was still lurking in the shadows of a smoky cabaret. Bonus CD of the albums in a special gatefold jacket
