Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Sparks...

For those interested, "Introducing Sparks" is due to be released on CD for the very first time. I believe it was legal reasons preventing its earlier release in this format. Seeing it amongst my collection will prove efficacious.

Not among the TOP 3 Sparks albums that one. After 'Introducing..' Sparks did complete change in musical direction and the result was excellent 'No 1 in Heaven'.

Must say ive not really put any money into Sparks cds even though their one of my 'all time' fav groups. I only have the best of 'This Albums Big Enough' and nothing more. Will look into buying some, probably only the remasters as there released.

Get the first one , "Kimono my House" (75) absolute jewel of an album . The Moroder produced one "Number one song all over Heaven2 is a belter too More recent stuff "Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins" (95) You can't really go wrong with the Mael brothers

Oh yes. Have all their early material. "Kimono My House" "Propaganda" are works of genius. I know these by rote. "Sparks" aka "Halfnelson" "A woofer in tweeters clothing" are special to say the least.Have had these on gatefold vinyl for yonks. Oh so highly enjoyable. I will always have a special place for these.

Even "Sparks in outer space " with guest appearance from Jane Wieldin (Sp?)

I joined their Fan Club in the US all those years ago . .remember getting a really bizarre newsletter thing back ..whacky guys!
