Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire De Melody Nelson super deluxe box set is just super

We could ramble on about the genius of Serge Gainsbourg, but as you're the sort of person who reads this site, chances are you know that. So we're guessing you will probably want this Histoire De Melody Nelson super deluxe box set too.

Yes, a box set of Gainsbourg's 1971 concept album, presumably returning in deluxe form to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Seeing as it comes in just short of 28 minutes, turning it into a box set is some work, but that work looks to have been done impressively.

According to the information we've been able to glean, the set includes the following:

The original album on CD
A CD of alternative versions of the tracks
The original vinyl album
A vinyl album of bonus sessions from the time of recording
An exclusive 30-minute DVD documentary
A large-format 52 book in English and French, including lyrics from the album

All of that in a limited edition, numbered box set, which is available to order now, but is available from November 7th 2011. You can order one for £75.47. Get it on your Christmas list.
