SPARKS

All a bit much really, I know there's no obligation to buy but from memory in the last year we've had

A big Noel package

The 1000 limited edition Annette triple album

Not long since I shell ...

I have fairly recently been sucked into the Sparks Universe, so I've had their entire back-catalogue to listen to all in one go. I've listened to all their standard studio albums at least once, and wa ...

Apparently we have 1382 today....... Flip me, what's going on? Call in the Guinness Book of Records.
I really hope these numbers are indicative of a swelling in the Sparks fandom.. . These men deser ...

Means well but when you get the date of the concert wrong and review a song that wasn't played you wonder if AI was involved

Only found out today that it’s the first ever Sparks concert in Italy

Repertoire back to the full set. Excellent venue, acoustics superb, playing and singing impeccable without a single hitch. Crowd at the front particularly were up and dancing from song one. Russ tail ...

First time seeing the lads live in Europe. Looking forward to seeing how the crowd is compared to UK (Manchester was mad with any punctuation mark of your choice to follow). Will they go mad for My Wa ...

No warm up, were 8.30pm starts in Manchester

Given the profile of the band hasn't been higher in decades, I'm baffled that there hasn't been a review of any of the concerts in the mainstream media

They played 'Police Encounters' IIRC.

They played 'Police Encounters' IIRC.

and it's quite early in the set as well. The audience last tour concerts only really got going when MTYCDT came on. No excuses this time

Huge, huge thumbs up here

That rocks !

Chatting to fans before the last Manchester gig, I was surprised that a a few had deliberately avoided finding out the setlist. Personally I can't wait, but if there are people who don't want to know, ...

What do we think for this week ?

I'm predicting chart position 29

Like waterloosunset, I had a double-take at some of dinky's choices but - as said - that's the magic of Sparks.

I started my Sparks odyssey well before cds, let alone ipods or streaming, so skippin ...
