Sparks / Kimono My House 2LP vinyl
Sparks 1974 commercial breakthrough Kimono My House has been remastered for its 40th Anniversary and is being reissued as a two-LP vinyl set this December with previously unreleased bonus material.
The album features the classic This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us and this edition contains the first release anywhere (on the second LP) of seven demo recordings Ron and Russell Mael made in 1973 prior to signing with Island Records.
This comes packaged in a thick-spined outer sleeve with original inner bag plus notes from Russell Mael and a new essay. There is no word at present whether this will also be issued on CD but this vinyl set does come with a digital download.
Kimono My House is reissued as a double LP set on 15 December 2014.
