How about playing these 2 in their entirety to celebrate their 40th anniversaries.
Get the band back together and rock again

Can't see it....it would be a leap backwards in a year where we have been promised something new along with the filming of TSOIB. 21x21 showed the albums can be revisited though.

The only way I could see that happening is if they did it like the shows at The Forum in 2009, where they did one night of ECOTD followed by KMH and another night of ECOTD followed by N1IH. So they could premiere the new album in the first half, followed by KMH or Propaganda in the second half.

They should release them on CD with all the demo's recorded around that period.I believe there are quite a few.
Titles like I'm About To Burst, When I Take The Field Friday and She's getting Funnier.

I really like Sparks in the form of how they do it nowadays (incl. Two Hands One Mouth) and I'm curious about what's coming in the future incl. how the filmproject will be and when..and the new record (and also the music with Franz Ferdinand that can result in an album as far as I understand it),but I
would ALSO like to see and hear Sparks Live as a rock band again and on dvd,that would be great I think. (that was a LONG sentence..)

It would also be nice with more rockoriented Sparks studio album(s) again but don't stop doing music and projects sounding and looking like it has sounded and looked in the recent years aswell.

Sometime(s) a more rock oriented album and sometime(s) more like it has been in the recent years.

It would be nice to see something to celebrate 40 years of Kimono/Propaganda, as well as 20 years since GS&SV, but I wouldn't count on it. I was expecting something to celebrate 10 years of Lil B in 2012 (although to be fair a lot of songs off it made into both the THOM and Revenge Tours.) Maybe they'll finally release the film of those shows in 2009 since they played Kimono? I know it's a look to the past but with Lil B and HYL getting DVDs it seems a shame the 3rd album in the trilogy didn't.However with something new said to be down the line I would image R and R's focus will be on that and the Bergman film; which I'm sure will be great!

I'd still go to see them if they did 2 hours of Old MacDonald Had A Farm, but I just hope that it will rock. The stuff in the last couple of years was awesome - but it would be nice to see a bit of a return to the 'heavier' tracks from the last couple of albums like Dick Around and Lighten Up Morrissey. But I'm sure they'll surprise us :D

They,ve done those 2 albums in their entirety not too long ago.I reckon that old juice guzzling Super Snipe car on Propaganda would brake down on the motorway and leave them stranded on the hard shoulder.Plugs and points were always less reliable than electronic ignition.Better waiting for new stuff that they have hinted at and they will probably travel in more reliable transport to gigs.2014 and beyond please.
