Sparks, “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us”

Posted on the 09 November 2013 by Calvinthedog

The original promo that went with this 1974 song, years before MTV. Not only that, but it’s in mono! Mono and stereo are two different ways or recording music. This is one of my favorite Sparks songs of all, from the great Kimono My House album. They were very controversial back then, and I knew lots of people who utterly despised them for some reason. Around this time, they were in a glam phase. Early Queen (Sheer Heart Attack), Roxy Music (Stranded) and early Be Bop Deluxe (Axe Victim) all had a similar sound (listen to those guitars!) and they were all making music right around this same time. PS all of those albums are great, and I am also a big fan of early Be Bop Deluxe.
