So when asked what plans they had for their 21st album (yes you read it right 21st album) their answer was typically audacious: How do we best unveil our new album, Sparks as yet untitled 21st? How about playing in concert every single song off of every album that preceded it, all 20 albums on 20 consecutive nights, culminating in the premiere of our latest? That's approximately 250 songs, or for you musicians, 4 million, 825 thousand, 273 notes. Come celebrate each and every one of those notes with us! Sparks, Los Angeles Not many artists can claim to have 21 albums in their repertoire. Very few of those could say that their 21st album is as groundbreaking as their previous work. Only Sparks would dare to take on this challenge this mammoth undertaking, this melodious epic, this groundbreaking concept, this celebration of musical greatness past and present. The Sparks Spectacular will be taking place in London in May and June 2008 - one album per night, played in its entirety, starting with 1971?s album Halfnelson and concluding with the brand new, as yet untitled, 21st album. The only concession made to man?s physicality is that, whilst the order of the albums will be chronological, there will be some days off during the run! www.allsparks.com SPARKS SPECTACULAR - 21 ALBUMS IN 21 NIGHTS Tickets on sale from November 29th At Carling Academy Islington, N1 Centre, Islington, LONDON, N1 0PS www.islington-academy.co.uk doors open at 19.00 MAY 16th Halfnelson/Sparks (1971/2) 17th A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing (1972) 18th Kimono My House (1974) 20th Propaganda (1974) 21st Indiscreet (1975) 23rd Big Beat (1976) 24th Introducing Sparks (1977) 25th No.1 In Heaven (1979) 27th Terminal Jive (1979) 28th Whomp That Sucker (1981) 30th Angst In My Pants (1982) 31st In Outer Space (1983) JUNE 1st Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat (1984) 3rd Music That You Can Dance To (1986) 4th Interior Design (1988) 6th Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins (1995) 7th Plagiarism (1997) 8th Balls (2000) 10th Lil Beethoven (2003) 11th Hello Young Lovers (2006) JUNE 13th WORLD PREMIERE OF SPARKS 21ST ALBUM (2008) At Shepherds Bush Empire, Shepherds Bush Green, Shepherds Bush, LONDON, W12 8TT www.shepherds-bush-empire.co.uk INDIVIDUAL TICKET PRICE: #20.00 PER SHOW 3 NIGHTS OR MORE BOUGHT TOGETHER: #18.00 PER SHOW GOLDEN TICKET ?
