huh, they must've gotten a boost with the recent documentary and that play they scored. We have a whole pile of Sparks albums we couldn't have paid more than $8-9 bucks for each (and to be honest, the only one I go back to with any regularity is Kimono My House)zircona1 wrote: Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:05 am I was at my local record store yesterday, and I noticed they had a few old Sparks records, above what you'd normally pay.

So, yeah, the older Sparks albums should be reissued. I know there was a 40th anniversary ed of 'No. 1 in Heaven', but it's sold out on their website.
Re: Records that should be reissued.
52Yeah, the same record store guy mentioned the documentary and the fact that they are a big cult band. The only ones I'd really be interested in picking up are 'No. 1 in Heaven' and 'Kimono My House'.penningtron wrote: Mon Aug 22, 2022 2:27 pmhuh, they must've gotten a boost with the recent documentary and that play they scored.

Honestly, I didn't know anything by them - except for 'Cool Places' - until I saw the doc, and then live in Knoxville earlier this year.
"Whatever happened to that album?"
"I broke it, remember? I threw it against the wall and it like, shattered."

53"My Other Voice" on No. 1 in Heaven is a favorite track of mine. I'm not really buying records anymore, I'm selling them, but I'd buy a copy of that if I found one at a reasonable price.zircona1 wrote: Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:05 am I was at my local record store yesterday, and I noticed they had a few old Sparks records, above what you'd normally pay.

Re: Records that should be reissued.
54A lot of the Touch and Go catalog would be nice. I miss the days when they had stuff in print for ages.
ALL of the Man ...Or Astroman? catalog would be cool too. Servotron too while you are at it.
