POPERA COSMIC Les Esclaves (2018 French limited edition 14-track vinyl LP issue of instantly-deleted 1969 recording. Subtitled 'Les Esclaves' [The Slaves], this street theatre / rock opera [influenced by the work of Julien Beck’s Living Theatre] is now considered to be France's first dedicated psychedelic album and the shrouded blueprint for the hugely influential Gallic concept album phenomenon that followed, including Serge Gainsbourg's 'Histoire De Melody Nelson' and Gérard Manset's 'La Mort D’Orion'. Complete with a 16-page booklet, the vinyl is UNPLAYED housed in the picture sleeve which remains sealed within its hype-stickered original shrinkwrap. A true essential for any outernational radicalised record collection! FKR096LP)
