Sparks seminal Kimono My House album was released on the 1st May 1974 on Island Records and is widely considered to be the groups commercial breakthrough and one of their most memorable outings. Met with widespread acclaim, Kimono My House would spawn the groups biggest UK single This Town Aint 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
