A Beatles classic, reinterpreted by a group of Parisian underground artists with a taste for provocation.

Written by John Lennon, recorded in 1966 and released as a single in 1967, Strawberry Fields Forever is now considered one of the band’s most important psychedelic tracks.

A particularly strange cover version appears on the 1979 LP La Perversita. Behind the record was a loose artistic collective around Hector Zazou, Jeanne Folly, writer Jean-Luc Hennig, and the radical Parisian graphic and punk collective Bazooka.

The album is less a conventional rock record and more a French underground art project that mixes No Wave, spoken word, experimental rock, and provocative texts.

Their version of Strawberry Fields Forever therefore moves far away from the original. Less psychedelic pop, more avant-garde art experiment from the Paris alternative scene of the late 1970s. Cult.
