Mylène Farmer, on vinyl.
A personal, slowly-growing catalogue of every pressing of every Mylène Farmer record I've gotten my hands on — first French issues, foreign variants, test pressings, promos, the lot. I'm not interested in checklists; I'm interested in the small differences between stampers, sleeves, and labels that make each copy its own thing.
Cendres De Lune
The 1986 debut — gothic-pop, breathy delivery, Laurent Boutonnat's lush synth arrangements. It is also the Mylène record most often misidentified: the original French Polydor (829 127-1) runs nine tracks on a single sleeve, while the 1987 reissue (831 732-1) adds Tristana and is the one people mistake for the first press. The full pressing & value guide is below.
This is a private archive that I happen to have made public. There's no shop, no newsletter, no socials. If you have a pressing variant I haven't logged or you've spotted an error, please write me. I trade duplicates with other collectors occasionally — drop me an email.
