Hailing from Los Angeles, Sparks relocated to England in 1973. The
following year saw the release of their two career-defining albums
- the breakthrough LP Kimono My House and the follow-up Propaganda.
In this unique book, author Laura Shenton, takes us on a phenomenal
journey through 1974 - the year that saw Sparks go from an obscure,
underground album to chart stars. Both albums were UK top ten hits,
and three singles released in 1974 all made the top 20 with the
biggest hit being 'This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us',
which reached No. 2 on the UK charts. Built around the images and
talents of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, this book looks in-depth
at the meteoric rise to stardom for this hugely idiosyncratic,
quirky and challenging band that has developed a huge cult
following. With detailed research Sparks 1974 sets the scene by
covering the band's beginnings in Los Angeles, before chronicling
1974 via the recordings, live concerts, interviews and numerous TV
appearances that resulted as a consequence of their instantaneous
success from the release of Kimono My House. Sparks 1974 is the
first new book on the band in a decade, and the first to focus
solely on their most successful year.
