{"product_id":"sparks-75-76-bonus-tracks-deluxe-uk","title":"Sparks - 75-76 (Bonus Tracks) [Deluxe] (Uk)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the success of 2024's 50th celebrations for 'Kimono My House' and 'Propaganda' and a career-best No. 2 UK chart placing for latest studio album 'MAD', Demon are delighted to announce a suite of products celebrating the band's next two catalogue classics. The 3CD Sparks 1975-1976 brings together the fifth and sixth studio albums from Sparks (their '71debut was released under the name Halfnelson) alongside a bonus disc containing single B-Sides, rarities and a live performance. Following the success of their previous releases, Kimono My House and Propaganda (compiled as Sparks 1974 on the Demon 3CD set EDSL0228), this was a period of extraordinary creativity and dramatic change for the group - over the course of the next 50 years we would come to expect nothing less from brothers Ron and Russell Mael. Indiscreet saw the group work with producer Tony Visconti for the first time (described in Simon Price's insightful new sleeve notes as \"the architect of Glam's greatest moments\"), but confounding expectations they delivered an album where no two songs were in the same style, drawing on influences ranging from Classical to Jazz, music hall to marching bands. And even though it confounded the critics and some fans, it still managed to deliver the hit singles Get In The Swing and Looks, Looks, Looks. Big Beat followed in October 1976, and saw Ron and Russell move from the UK back to the US, leaving their established backing band behind, ditching the baroque stylings of Indiscreet for something all-together more back-to-basics, with the recording overseen by producer Rupert Holmes. Still three years away from topping the US chart with his single 'Escape (The Piña Colada Song)', 1976 also saw him contributing to Barbra Streisand's multi-million selling soundtrack to The Star Is Born. Quite where an energetic and muscular Sparks' collection that sat closer to the emerging Punk scene sits in all of this is open to debate. Sparks 1975-1976 is packaged in a deluxe 7\" 3CD fold out card set with an illustrated booklet containing original release details, alongside new liner notes from author, DJ, journalist, and diehard Sparks' fan, Simon Price.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHospitality on Parade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Hunting Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout Using Hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet in the Swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Table with Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Are You Getting Home?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePineapple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Ain't 1918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lady Is Lingering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooks, Looks, Looks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiss the Start, Miss the End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want to Be Like Everybody Else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing to Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Bought the Mississippi River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill-Er-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody's Stupid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrow Her Away (And Get a New One)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrewed Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Like Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want to Hold Your Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wedding of Jacqueline Kennedy to Russell Mael\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooks, Looks, Looks (Live at Fairfield Halls 09\/11\/75)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGone with the Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntrusion\/Confusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooks Aren't Everything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTearing the Place Apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 740155746933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edsel Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.10.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53234983108768,"sku":"740155746933","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4452808-3440819.jpg?v=1770369918","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/sparks-75-76-bonus-tracks-deluxe-uk","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
