Reviews
- A true Sparks classic and a rare chance to hear them with the "LA sound" of the 70's. The ironic 'introducing' title hints at the attempt to re-introduce them to American audiences, and the studio royalty behind the scenes pull out all the stops. Huge production, wild solos and a strong collection of witty pop classics from the Mael brothers. One of my faves.
Not the best, but certainly has some great tracks like "Ladies," "Forever Young," "I'm Not," "Those Mysteries," etc.
