I don't blame you Brightonian for keeping it in pristine condition but it's worth buying a record player for...... Could you not put that on your Christmas list? 😂

Mine arrived today ... along with the amazing mug and tea towel. (It was the tea towel that held things up so long, apparently).
Beautiful artwork all round.
I bought the album boxset purely as ... |

In a neighbouring town that has a decent newsagent, so bought a copy.
It has two pages on Sparks in 1974. Not read it yet, but a quick skim tells me there's no input from Martin Gordon, but there a ... |

I don't know about others on this forum, but I get a particular pleasure when I stumble across Sparks in a place I wasn't expecting to find them. I've had this experience twice this week. 'All I Ever ... |

I was there ... can't remember the name of the pub or where it was exactly. I'm thinking it may have been in Borough or somewhere else in upper Southwark? |

Is anyone else (UK based) still waiting to hear anything about their order being sent? I've not even received a delivery notification email yet. |

Complete coincidence would be my take on this ... but none of this matters, as Sparks have just won an award, very rightly so, for 'outstanding contribution to music'! 2 ... |

So, nothing new unfortunately ... but it will be good to get non-lossy audio of 1973 demo tracks! |

KMH & GS t-shirts for me, plus the mug & the puzzle. I too would have plumped for a blue Propaganda t-shirt. The heads-up from Alex (thanks for that) re the sizing came a little too late, alas ... |

There is no way I could persuade some ... |
