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.
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)

Yeah, 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'.

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.

"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.

A 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.

Lots of Estrus I'd reckon. Start with Teengenerate, just don't muck around with the recordings.
