Divisive, beloved, and unapologetic heathen Serge Gainsbourg may have had only one hit in the United States, "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus," but in his native France and much of Europe, much like Jacques Brel, he's an iconic figure of passion and decadence. There are seemingly hundreds of collections, anthologies, and brief overviews of the man and his music, one of which is the sprawling three-disc Anthologie box from Universal.
