Originally released in 1977, 'Introducing Sparks' is the seventh album by Sparks and the only one of their 20 long-players not available on CD. Until now – the duo’s own label, Lil’ Beethoven Records, are putting it out in November. Finally, you can hear the much-discussed but rarely heard transitional album from Ron and Russell Mael’s near-40-year career.

David Bowie wasn’t the only chameleonic figure in ‘70s rock. And so Introducing Sparks finds the Mael brothers, together with an array of top session musicians (mirroring Donald Fagen and Walter Becker of Steely Dan in this respect), caught between the innovative glam-prog-pop of their four early-to-mid-‘70s Island albums (Kimono My House, Propaganda, Indiscreet, Big Beat) and the audacious proto-electro of their 1979 collaboration with Giorgio Moroder (No 1 In Heaven).
