I bought the original Kimono LP as a young teen in the 70's and knew Sparks were very special back then. I still have the album plus Indiscreet. I had A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing and Sparks first on tape. So original - 'Fletcher Honorama' is a favourite track. I love that they are still producing music and so happy that they are being rediscovered by many more people since the documentary came out.

@dwarfbeat1 2 года назад

I am one of those people who knew NOTHING about Sparks (except that some of my Kinks-fan friends had mentioned them over the many, many, many years) before seeing the movie. I am now in love. Big time.

@yasielromero8236 3 года назад

never heard of them before seeing the trailer for the movie. Decided to see the documentary because I am an Edgar Wright fan and seen all he has done (except the low budget western one). Watched it last night, an absolute delight, i left the theater and immediately started playing their music, definitively recommend everyone to watch this

@paulahunt5621 3 года назад

Pretty much the same for me. I knew who Sparks were, I remember them from my teen years and even then I said “WTH is that”? I saw the trailer for the documentary and was intrigued. I saw the film one week ago and laughed for 2 hours and 20 minutes, it was hilarious, now I’m a fan.

@marshlanderdumarais264 3 года назад

Totally enthralled by the first version of Sparks on U.K. late night television in 1972. Bought every album from the beginning as it was released. Seen them live forty-five times. After all this time their latest album is one of their best and am looking forward to the tour going ahead next year to rack up a few more gigs. Even so they have followers far more dedicated than me. Of course they are real. My eldest son says they are the soundtrack of his life and he’s 46.

@ErikTJ86 3 года назад

I don't know there, Mr. du Marais. 45 times is pretty impressive. I would say that DOES put you up in top echelon of dedicated followers. I don't see how that is even remotely possible unless you do live in the UK or expended many frequent flier miles around the globe to see them, because their tour history isn't that immense. Wow. Hats off!

@marshlanderdumarais264 3 года назад

@@ErikTJ86 Thank you, sir. I’ll admit it has all been made much easier by living in the U.K. But every time I’ve seen them there are friends here from all over Europe and the USA.

@norton750commando 3 года назад

Been a fan for almost 50 years now. First record I got of theirs was Kimono My House when it dropped(now have 3 different copies, Canadian original press, Uk first press and the 40th anniversary release), an absolutely spectacular gem of a record. First show I saw of theirs was for the Propaganda tour and the last time was a few years ago for the Two Hands, One Mouth tour. A truly intriguing, brilliant, frustrating, inventive pair of individuals who never really got the recognition they deserve. And the album they put out last year is another gem.

@paulshawley6490 Год назад

I love how warm, friendly and open Edgar Wright always is - he must be a joy to work with. I'm sure he was responsible for connecting Cate Blanchett and Sparks for 'The Girl is Crying in Her Latte', as he's worked with them both.

@ExVagant 3 года назад

Began listening to Sparks when I was nine, back in 1974. Our nanny introduced me to them. For a couple of years, 1974-75, they were absolutely huge, during the time of their classic albums, "Kimono My House", "Propaganda", and "Indiscreet". Swedish Television showed a documentary about them. Having very vague memories of that documentary, but I vividly remember Ron's huge toy collection :D I eagerly look forward to seeing this documentary, when it reaches Scandinavia. Sparks has always had a special relation to Sweden: Their favourite scene in the whole world, was Södra Teatern, "Southern Theatre", in Stockholm, Sweden. They've recorded a couple of live videos at that venue. For some inexplicable reason, I never saw them there. Nowadays, they can no longer perform there, so I saw them the first time at Circus in Stockholm, 2017. 43 years after I first started listening to them. Then again, in 2018. They are better than ever.

I have no idea why people doubt their existence. There are so many interesting people and music groups out there that we haven't met yet we know that they probably exist.

First time I'd heard of Sparks was the documentary and oh boy the documentary was just great! Edgar Wright and Sparks just have such a similar sense of humor and you could really see it in the documentary. To say that it's 'just a documentary' doesn't give it any indication that it's a whole theatrical, comedic and musical performance.

Sounds like a fun doco. I've known about "Sparks" for many years. Didn't back in the 80s, but when I started archiving soundtracks from the era, and extending them to included all of the songs heard in the films (instead of just the official release), then I became a fan of the group. So I have 15 of their best tunes in my collection.

@royrowland5763 3 года назад

This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us, while a big hit in UK, never charted here in America, nor has it gotten any significant airplay on classic rock stations since. I discovered them by listening to KROQ in Los Angeles in the early '80s, completely unaware that they had already been around about 10 years. KROQ is specifically mentioned in the documentary because that was one of the few stations playing them in America. It should be of no surprise that younger generations have never heard of them, at least in the US.

@besskorey7403 3 года назад

I think Cool Places is the Sparks’ song people are most likely to know here in the States, although that song is almost 40 years old, so younger people might not know it. The first song I ever heard by them was Angst In My Pants, and that’s because it is on the Valley Girl soundtrack. I don’t remember hearing them on the radio at all when I was growing up in the ‘80s/‘90s. Sparks were pretty underrated in America before Wright’s documentary started to give them a lot of exposure recently.
