Sparks - Propoganda (NM)
Regular price £15.00Near Mint secondhand copy.
In November 1974, Sparks’ Propaganda album instilled in their fans the burning desire to drop leaflets from helicopters declaring Sparks the greatest band in the world!! Having no access to helicopters in our teens, word traveled slowly but surely, by various subversive missives.
Despite the Maels’ intentions to take a completely new direction, ignoring the successful formula of Kimono My House, it segued right into Propaganda. Sparks’ third and fourth albums (both on Island Records) complemented each other like a pair of bookends. Britain’s `Holy Trinity’ Melody Maker, Sounds and NME raved. They gave the band tremendous coverage, featuring lengthy interviews with Ron and Russell, in which they mostly discussed their favorite topic – food!
