You can now pre-order your copy of 'Introducing Sparks' through Sparks Mart.

There are two versions of the cover artwork. One has Ron on the front the other has Russell on the front. This is the only difference between the two, the slip case and CD itself are exactly the same.

As a result of pre-ordering your copy it will be shipped to you on the 15th October, 3 whole weeks before the official release date and before the CD will be available to buy elsewhere.

yeah, as soon as I visited the Introducing page on Sparks Mart, the decision came itself - I ordered both... though my LP's cover is in perfect shape :))

You go to a record store with real people serving and let them choose for you. If that dosnt work you just choose the Alpha numerically superior order number.... so again, someone else already decided that.

A third alternative is to be suckered into buying both by this cynical attempt to persuade us to do just that.

Don't misunderstand me, different coloured vinyl was one thing, different track listings or bonus tracks is fine too..... but slipping a different old photo into the photocopier... sorry just dosn't cut it.

I mean why not have Ron on the cover of an album called Introducing Russ,

Russ on the cover of an album called Introducing Ron

Ron on the cover of an album called Introducing Ron

Russ on the cover of an album called introducing Russ

Ron on the cover of an album called Introducing Sparks

Russ on the cover of an album called Introducing Sparks

Both Ron and Russ on the cover of an album called Introducing Sparks

Then of course we could have the Collectors item, deliberate mistake, editions, Introducing Spooks, Introducing Skraps, Introsparking ducks.

Frankly the possibilities are endless.

Sorry, this double issue is blatant commercialism.... and I'll bet Ron and Russ had nothing to do with it....... (for 'I bet' read 'I hope')





Crikey, now I'm in the poo poo!

Introsparking ducks LOL
I have an russian piratcopy where both sides, Ron or Russ, works as a frontcover. The soundquality is not the best I've heard but I find the look of the cover and cd to be excellent work.
I've never seen the actual vinyl lp but I guess my cd is made to look like the lp (it's red) and the cover looks like a mini-version of an Lp slipcase with an extra slpcase inside with picture and all the lyrics+info. Looking at it I feel tempted to buy the vinyl, I love coloured vinyl by the way, so pretty.

For the official cd I hope for a thick cover leaflet, hopefully some bonus tracks and of course better sound than on the piratecopy.

I don't have PayPal, and my checking account information is a bit too sensitive to just be tapping into any computer...I'm sure I'm not the only one with these roadblocks...any hope for debit card payment, or money order?

I found this on Amazon U.K. earlier - check out link - Does anyone know if this is Amazon mistaking the 2 different covers and calling one a 'special edition' or is it an actual special edition, different from the Ron/Russ covers...? Talk about confusion....

So i would think it would be one and the same: even more confusion?

According to Mr. D. they will be exactly like the vinyl, no difference whatsoever.......... right? Too bad there are no bonus tracks or extras. My home made cd has some Pat benatar, Jimi Hendrix and "Layla" by Clapton following the Introducing tracks making it one of my most played cds. Mai bad? Guess I'll eventually break down and buy an officially released version some day, it would be wrong not to. Ron Playing
