I'm rather surprised this is the first Sparks albums I've posted. I have several BBC concerts from them that I'll hopefully post eventually.
Sparks is an American band that was formed in 1971. Their second album, "Kimono My House," was a big hit, but only in Britain, not in the U.S. One song from that album, "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us," made it all the way to Number Two in the British singles chart. Another song, "Amateur Hour," made the Top Ten there. But neither song even charted in the U.S. So they must have been pretty unknown to the radio audience at the time of this concert.
They would eventually find some success in the U.S., but gradually, and not nearly to the extent of their success in Britain and the rest of Europe.
The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. However, I did have to fix some things. There was some hiss during the banter bits, so I got rid of that using the MVSEP program. I also used that program to boost the lead vocals relative to the instruments.
This album is 39 minutes long.
