Sparks / The Island Years 5LP box

Back in June I alerted you to the fact that a Sparks vinyl box was due to be released this winter. At the time there was a question mark over the bonus LP but now everything has been confirmed.

As expected, at its core The Island Years is a collection of the band’s four Island studio albums: Kimono My House (which was issued as a special 2LP set last year), Propaganda, Indiscreet and Big Beat.

However the bonus LP, The Rest of Sparks, looks very interesting since it will feature b-sides and ‘other relevant audio’ from the same time period.

Sparks: The Island Years 5LP vinyl box is released on 27 November 2015.
