There is almost no one in the realm of popular music who is more charmingly filthy than Serge Gainsbourg (Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus's heavy breathing comes to mind, and his duet with daughter Charlotte, Lemon Incest, certainly raised a few eyebrows), but the world generally loves him for it. The dirty old man of French pop might have made some folks squirm in the past, but he was celebrated as much as he was maligned and his music continues to surprise and delight fans who discover him outside the boundaries of his '60s heydays. On the 15th anniversary of his death (in 1991), the Verve Forecast imprint offered up a tribute record for the man, Monsieur Gainsbourg: Revisited, featuring old collaborators like Jane Birkin, Françoise Hardy, and Dani, alongside pop star fans like Jarvis Cocker, Michael Stipe, Marc Almond, and the band Franz Ferdinand. The songs were meticulously translated into English for the tribute and offered many non-French-speaking fans their first opportunity to blush in the wake of Gainsbourg's frank (and, sometimes, tactless) hedonistic musings. Not all of the selections were culled from the sleazy/sexual portion of Gainsbourg's songbook, though, and that also meant that these same fans were hearing some of his more introspective, alienated, and melancholy tracks for the first time as well. This companion release, Monsieur Gainsbourg: The Originals, collects the original versions of the songs featured on the tribute (save for Comme un Boomerang) and offers them up for further study. A good, solid spread of tunes for the neophyte Gainsbourg fan, The Originals has its merits as a decent compilation for diehards as well. The mastering is well done and the selections run the gamut -- from his early cabaret stylings to his soundtrack work and on to some of his more (ahem) adult material. Grab a pack of Gitanes, fill your glass, and enjoy. ~ J. Scott McClintock, Rovi

While the Selections on Originals come from different eras and backgrounds, there is one important commonality shared by all six: each was conceived specifically for an ensemble of wind instruments. From the earliest composition on the recording, Felix Mendelssohn's Overture for Winds, to Magnus Lindberg's Gran Duo, the most recent contributions, all were imagined and created in order to exploit the unique timbral palette of a wind band. Furthermore, these works are not mere cast-off scraps from the workshop floor. Each represents the best efforts of the composer and are significant contributions to the ever-expanding repertoire of the wind ensemble.This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media.

A riveting new story from Cat Patrick, author of Forgotten and Revived. 17-year-olds Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey Best grew up as identical triplets... until they discovered a shocking family secret. They're actually closer than sisters, they're clones. Hiding from a government agency that would expose them, the Best family appears to consist of a single mother with one daughter named Elizabeth. Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey take turns going to school, attending social engagements, and a group mindset has always been a de facto part of life... Then Lizzie meets Sean Kelly, a guy who seems to see into her very soul. As their relationship develops, Lizzie realizes that she's not a carbon copy of her sisters; she's an individual with unique dreams and desires, and digging deeper into her background, Lizzie begins to dismantle the delicate balance of an unusual family that only science could have created.
