Erotica



It’s the Welsh Je T’Aime. Actually Welsh rock band Man’s steamy Erotica (1968) single was released a year before the infamous Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin tune. Erotica would appear on Man’s debut LP Revelation but was banned from being played on UK radio as it was deemed too saucy. However, in less sexually repressed countries – France, Germany, Holland, Portugal and Angola - it was released as a 7" single and did well, apparently. Enjoy.
