Sparks / Kimono My House and Propaganda reissues

Sparks’ 1974 albums Kimono My House and Propaganda will be reissued for their 50^th anniversary later this month.

1974 saw Sparks relocate from LA to London and with a newly inked deal with Island Records this period was a commercial breakthrough for the band, with the single ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us’, peaking at number two on the UK singles chart and Kimono My House reaching number four on the albums chart. Produced by Muff Winwood, it saw the band embrace more pop-oriented songwriting and a shift towards glam rock.

The November 1974 follow-up, Propaganda, solidified both the style and success of Kimono My House, and once again reached the top 10. With Muff Winwood at the helm once again, it includes tracks such as ‘Something For The Girl With Everything’ and ‘Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth’.

The 50^th anniversary releases are available in CD and vinyl LP format. A 3CD package, called Sparks 1974,  includes both albums alongside a bonus CD with B-sides, demos and rarities. On LP, both Kimono My House and Propaganda are available in coloured pressings and additionally are issued as picture discs, for the first time..

All three physical editions will be released on the 29 November 2024 via Demon Music Group.
