Kimono My House (50th Anniversary)
Limited 'caramel apple' colored vinyl LP pressing. Sparks' seminal album "Kimono My House" was first released on the 1st May 1974 on Island Records and is widely considered to be the group's commercial breakthrough and one of their most memorable outings. Met with widespread acclaim, Kimono My House would spawn the group's biggest UK single "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us" which peaked at No.4 in the UK singles charts. Produced by Mervyn "Muff" Winwood and recorded in the UK with a venerable lineup of British musicians (Martin Gordon bass, Adrian Fisher guitar and Norman "Dinky" Diamond drums), the album slotted into the contemporary popularity of glam rock, situating itself stylistically within the experimental and electronically led auspices of the likes of Roxy Music and David Bowie circa '74. "While the brotherhood of Ron and Russell is undoubtedly the driving force behind Sparks, their infallible backing band should certainly not be forgotten. Kimono My House is undoubtedly one of the greatest albums to arise from the art rock scene of the 1970s" - Ben Forrest Far Out.
