Latest fan club email says Russell's original guide vocals for the Noel album will be included in the bonus tracks!

Thanks! Don't think I'll order it now, but maybe if I'm in need of something to read in the future...

Didn't know there was a Divine Comedy book! How is it?

If anyone's interested, maybe we could take this week to talk about some other between-album work Sparks has done. I'm inclined to call this stuff "unreleased," but at this point almost all ...

What I really appreciate, though, is that through the Sparks connection I've then explored the back catalogues of several artists/bands I now think of as some of my favourites: Ray, P5, Les Rita Mitso ...

Is there an appetite to carry on?
We can discuss covers and remixes, songs for other groups...a few possibilities...
The Clash, Morrissey, Telex, Lio, Katie Melua, Pizzicato 5, Grand Popo Football ...

Many many thanks to highersynth for running these threads!

The four tracks we have from Mai are fairly tantalizing. It's not much to go off of, but this little taste makes me think this project cou ...

Ruud on FanMael points us to Penny Brown’s MTPG article in the 23/1 edition of the newsletter, which is as definitive account as you’ll likely find.

Can't remember if I've read this or not and I ca ...

Following up on Andy's mention of Noel's 1982 album... I was aware that she'd put out an album in the '80s, but I hadn't investigated it much until now, and I notice a couple of notable things about i ...

I'm glad we're discussing this album, mainly because it gives me (another?) chance to sing the praises of "The Night They Invented Love" and "Au Revoir." I think "Dancing Is D ...

Since I missed THOM week, I'll just echo Spyke's sentiment that it's "a nice souvenir of a really enjoyable tour," and add that I, like waterloosunset, love this version of Sherlock Holmes. ...

Think I'm going to decline to give the Annette soundtrack a score as well. It's too hard to separate it from the actual film for me to judge it on its own merits as an album. I love "So May We St ...

The Seduction has grown on me over the years, mostly due to my wife's enthusiasm for it. If you go in looking for a normal Sparks album, you're going to be disappointed, and I think even as a musical, ...

Thanks highersynth for starting and running this thread! I've loved having a different album to revisit every week, and it's been so much fun to read everyone's thoughts. On to the next thread!

As far as other albums to cover in the new year, definitely The Seduction and Annette. It'd be fun to discuss the Noel album too. Based on what Ron and Russell have said about their level of control o ...
