Sparks' true collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, who produced and also co-wrote and played on some of the tracks. It's quite a combination of talents when you think about it and still sounds great today. I have the CD of this album and couldn't believe how much nicer "My Other Voice" sounded on vinyl.

This is the original 1979 issue, etched matrix V.2115.A-1 / V.2115.B-1, limited yellow vinyl. These normally go for a packet but I'm dropping the price substantially because of the sleeve condition. The inner sleeve is better than VG+ and the vinyl itself is EX.

Sleeve condition: G, various small marks and creasing, a small sticker remnant, severe wear to corner, edges and spine (text almost illegible), a couple of tiny tears where the record goes into the sleeve have been neatly repaired from the inside with tape to prevent further splitting. It's intact though and certainly not the worse cover (pop it into a nice new plastic folder would be my advice).

Original inner sleeve with photo/lyrics: VG+, very tidy, minmal creasing/wear.

Record: EX, plays very cleanly.


PLEASE NOTE: I do not "sight-test" records and list with comments like "vinyl looks to be in good condition". This is because a disc can look perfect but still have surface noise throughout (as I've found on too many occasions). All my records are played from start to finish on a fairly unforgiving Sansui deck fitted with an Ortofon cartridge and stylus.
