Sparks 1974 compiles Sparks' two 1974 albums, 'Kimono My House' and 'Propaganda', alongside a bonus CD containing demo, unreleased and live takes and B-sides. 1974 saw the group relocate from L.A. to London where they recorded some of their most memorable output. 'Kimono My House', containing the group's biggest single 'This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us' (#4 UK Singles Chart), was the group's first real commercial breakthrough. Produced by Muff Winwood, the album slotted into the contemporary landscape of glam rock, stylistically similar to the experimental and electronic-led output of David Bowie and Roxy Music. 'Propaganda' was released subsequently in November '74, peaking at number 9 in the UK Albums Chart. The Mael Brothers solidified their style of demented, sinister pop songs with tracks like 'Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth', 'Something for the Girl With Everything' and 'Achoo'. Packaged in a deluxe 7-inch 3CD fold out card set with an illustrated booklet containing a liner note from Guardian critic Jude Rogers.
