Sparks
Big Beat (50th Anniversary)
Following the success of 2024's 50th celebrations for 'Kimono My House' and 'Propaganda' and a career-best No. 2 UK
chart placing for latest studio album 'MAD', Demon are delighted to announce a suite of products celebrating the band's
next two catalogue classics. Released in October 1976, after Ron and Russell had moved from the UK back to the US, 'Big
Beat' left their established backing band behind, ditching the baroque stylings of Indiscreet for something
all-together more back-to-basics, with the recording overseen by producer Rupert Holmes. Still three years away from
topping the US chart with his single 'Escape (The Piña Colada Song)', 1976 also saw him contributing to Barbra
Streisand's multi-million selling soundtrack to The Star Is Born. Quite where an energetic and muscular Sparks'
collection that sat closer to the emerging Punk scene sits in all of this is open to debate. This limited edition of Big
Beat is available on is available on 'Mineral' marbled vinyl.
