Although I followed their career and bought their records through most of the 70s, they never equaled those first two albums, which is still my view to this day. I also love a record by a band which was somewhat associated with SPARKS, namely, SOME PEOPLE WILL DRINK ANYTHING, by CHRISTOPHER MILK. I stopped buying SPARKS's records after INTRODUCING SPARKS, but I later bought a couple of their 80s records, which were catchy, but they didn't stay with me. I've been impressed with their most recent material, from L'IL BEETHOVEN and HELLO, YOUNG LOVERS. I haven't bought either record yet, but I may. Thanks for this show. | |

Introdcing might have been a dud but there were many gems since. The recent ones. | |

By the way, you just played another fave of mine: THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND, who I first saw in 73 on Don Kirshner's ROCK CONCERT. I saw them in 75 or 76 in Jacksonville, Fl, (where I lived at the time), opening for Jethro Tull. They were great! | |

Unfortunately, when I saw them, they didn't play VAMBO, as, the night before they had performed in Miami, and afterwards, their truck, with all their equipment and stage scenery, (including the faux brick wall where Alex would spray paint VAMBO ROOLS), was stolen. They performed in Jacksonville using equipment borrowed from Jethro Tull. (They did have their regular stage clothing, though.) This incident became the subject for the song THE MAFIA STOLE MY GUITAR, the title song of the "NEW" Sensational Alex Harvey Band album that came out after ROCK DRILL (and which featured none of the regular band). It's a great record, though, perhaps even better than any of the others, in my view. | |

This is a cover of "Moon Over Kentucky," from their great A WOOFER IN TWEETER'S CLOTHING. "Girl From Germany" is my all time favorite Sparks song! | |
