More Info
Probably Serge's most famous album and definitely one of his best, it was originally released in 1971.
It tells a semi-autobiographical story of a middle-aged man knocking a girl from Sunderland off her bicycle and their subsequent romance...until she meets her tragic demise in a plane crash.
An all-time, oft-sampled classic, with superb orchestration arrangements from Jean-Claude Vannier.
2CD/DVD features a host of extras, including a 40 minute documentary.
2LP has a bonus disc of sessions (tracklist as CD2 below)
