Limited Edition Aqua Turquoise Vinyl LP!
Celebrate Five Decades of Their Amazing Debut Album!
Mastered by Joe Reagoso from the Original Bearsville/Warner Music Tapes!

Originally Sparks were known as Halfnelson, formed in Los Angeles by brothers Russell and Ron Mael. Their initial demo tapes got the attention of Todd Rundgren, who was making records for Bearsville Records, and he was intrigued with the band as their sound was like nothing being offered then or even now. "It wasn't the very first band I discovered, but it was the most unusual thing I ever discovered," said Rundgren.

Initially released in 1971 as Halfnelson, the band's name changed to Sparks and so did the album cover artwork with a 1972 re-release, and their status grew as the first album soon became an underground success with their debut single, "Wonder Girl."

For over five decades, Russell and Ron have maintained an amazing career that continues to attract new fans every day. Their concerts sell out all over the world and their catalog of albums is legendary.

Their early Bearsville albums have been fairly vacant over the years on LP, therefore, Friday Music is very pleased to announce their stellar debut Sparks on first time ever translucent aqua turquoise vinyl.

Produced by Todd Rundgren and mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Todd Rundgren/David Bowie) from the original Bearsville Records tapes, the Sparks album will become a much long sought after re-release for old and new fans alike.

Friday Music is going to feature the album in a first time ever gatefold cover presentation, complete with lyrics as well as brand new liner notes from the legendary producer Todd Rundgren.
