Celebrate over five decades of one of rock's most inventive duos with Sparks, the debut album from brothers Ron and Russell Mael. Originally recorded under the name Halfnelson after their demo tapes caught the ear of Todd Rundgren, this album marked the beginning of a legendary and genre-defying career. Produced by Rundgren himself and originally released on Bearsville Records, it remains a fascinating snapshot of an artist finding their singular voice.
This Friday Music release has been mastered by Joe Reagoso directly from the original Bearsville Records tapes, ensuring exceptional audio fidelity. The stunning gatefold presentation includes full lyrics alongside extensive liner notes written by Todd Rundgren himself, offering rare insight into the making of this landmark debut. It's a thoughtfully crafted edition for fans who want to experience this classic record at its very best.
