This is a French classic and it should be heard in it's entirety. It's one of those records that only a few collectors and obscuro DJs used to cherish and treat as their pride and joy. Then the internet came along and it was there for all your merry ears. I, for one, is grateful of course. Polnareff was hugely popular in France, probably because of those ridiculous white framed glasses he had to wear because of an eye problem. He's a fascinating character and with a story likewise that you should read off wiki. He was left penniless by his manager, his wife committed suicide, he fled to the U.S to escape debts and in 1994 nearly lost is sight entirely. Most recently in 2010 his girlfriend gave birth to a boy but a DNA test revealed he was not the biological father. She has since disappeared with the baby. Merde!
