When LA musicians Russell and Ron Mael moved to Britain in 1973,
they hit the pop world as Sparks and looked like Oddballs, even in
the context of the Glam Rock movement that made them welcome. Soon
defined by their weird and wonderful 1974 single This Town Ain't
Big Enough for the Both of Us from the Kimono My House album,
Sparks went on to release 21 albums over four decades, each record
inhabiting a bizarre world of it's own. Their songs were peppered
with puns and pop culture nods, as well as nostalgia and jokey
images, all mixed up in a kaleidoscope of musical references
ranging from rock to glam to disco. The paperback edition of the
critically acclaimed biography. The Sparks story is now celebrated
in this book, Daryl Easlea's exploration of their extraordinary
career drawing on hours of new interviews and research. Talent is
an Asset comes as close as possible to pinning down the quicksilver
nature of two gifted musicians who have gone out of their way to
remain unpredictable and elusive, forever entrenched behind a
dazzling gallery of jokes, impersonations and musical
eccentricities.
