Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg is an album recorded by Jane Birkin together with Serge Gainsbourg in 1968. It was first released by Fontana Records in June 1969, including the hit single “Je t’aime… moi non plus”. On later pressings, the controversial duet was replaced by “La Chanson De Slogan”.
The contoured caps are from a typeface named Comstock. The text on the back cover is set in various styles from Folio, a grotesk that went under the name Caravelle in France. The photography is by Jean D’Hughes and an unnamed artist credited as “X”.
Jane Birkin died today at the age of 76. RIP.
