I've been listening and collecting anything 'Spark-like' since 1979 when I first heard The Number One Song In Heaven..........Oh! the memories......Sigh!.......Hearing it on the radio blew my mind and I've loved Sparks ever since

Since '74 and I first heard 'This town..' on Radio Luxembourg... First gig Liverpool Empire the same year... ashamed to say I haven't followed all of their work, kinda went off my radar in the 80's, but now back with a vengeance!!

This Town and Amateur Hour on Top Of The Pops.

Starngely it was Amateur Hour taht I first fell in love with.

And then I found Woofer and Sparks. Heaven sent!

It was Top of the Pops in 1974, I would have been 12 years old and I am now 44. I purchased both singles when they went out the charts and got Kimono as a Birthday present.

I want to hear from those teenage girls who used to mob them on stage.

I've been listening to Sparks for about ten years now. Tommorow I'll be off to Paradiso to see them live for the first time! In a way, this gig will be the 10th anniversary party of being a Sparks fan.

I was immediately hooked at 10 years old seeing This town on Toppop on tv...being that young, I did not check any further after the calm after amateur hour, I recall beat the clock though. Years later, I bought Mael Intuition, a treasure, now through the internet and the London dvd I'm hooked again and trying to get hold of their back catalogue. (I still miss 7 of them). One very fine day, I had 5 LP's second hand!! Made my day

I got into them a couple of years ago when I saw them perform No.1 Song in Heaven on Top of the Pops 2. Thought it was such a great song, so I bought a 'best of' and it went from there! Got 13 albums now, so I guess I'm on the way to obsessive fanhood! My mum used to have the Kimono LP and as a kid I used to watch whenever they were (occasionally) on telly, as I found Ron amusing Ron Playing

I have been listening to Sparks for ten years now, which means I must have been 15 years old when I became a Sparks fan.
