Very cool to see a new Sparks release! I haven't heard anything from it yet but will listen when I can. Thanks, Iain!

A Love Story...my least favourite track too...shame they picked that as one of the 7 tracks they sang live in Glasgow last month, would have liked them to swap it with Mona Lisa...but can't have everything. Oh, and I agree with your favourite track too :)

I went to their concerts when they did their complete album a night , I must say 3 of the best concerts I ever went to. I believe 2005 , they did Kimono in my House, Propaganda, and Indiscreet.

Interesting to hear your thoughts on this album, Iain. I have only heard so far the first three songs on side 1 that have been posted on their KZbin channel. Your ranking score of 8.5 would place it at no.15 in your ranking vid of all Sparks other albums posted last year. Likewise, a long-standing Sparks fan - Kimono My House was the second vinyl album I owned, bought in '74. Not a 'guilty pleasure' band - true trend setters. I sold a copy of KMH at my last record fair to a guy who was around 20 years old.
