SPARKS

The two Bearsville albums were released as "Two Originals of Sparks" in March 1976, both in the UK and Germany, long before they appeared on cd.

For those interested, I've published a new chapter on the FanMael's website section The Albums Project. It concerns a prequel to the first official recordings, 1966-1971.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your clearing reply. Of course my message wasn't to you in the first place. I just remember the thousands of guilders and days of work put into my efforts to promote Sparks in t ...

Much obliged, Sparkette, but I happen to live in the centre of the Dutch tulip fields.

Forgive me my slight cynicism. I suppose things will have changed over the years..

I've been running a Sparks fan club from 1974-1989 and from 1994 until it was merged in the Fan Mael site. In those day, I was always worked against by the US fanclub. Will this still be the case?
