Alain KAN: Star ou rien b/w La vie en Mars

Original 1973 single with picture sleeve from FRANCE on:
VOGUE Records#45.V.3029

Non LP mid 70's single by the cult french glam singer Alain Kan. Cover of the Bowie's "Life on Mars" on flip side.
This cult glam singer songwriter started his career at the famous Alcazar of Paris as a drag. He later became infatuated with Lou Reed and Bowie. Musically this is a mix of cabaret and glam à la Bowie/Jobriath. He later became singer with cult french punk band Gazoline whose records are extremely rare and collectable. One day in 1991 he left home to take the underground and disappeared from the face of the earth and no one knows what happened to him. Truly the stuff from which legends are made.
