EU two CD collection of singles from the Mael brothers spanning the 'New Wave' years 1979 through 1984. Since they emerged into the mainstream, Sparks have endeared themselves to successive generations of fans with their wry humor, offbeat quirkiness and lyrical and musical inventiveness. This compilation picks up the story in 1979, when Sparks commenced a renewed assault on European chartdom, with Giorgio Moroder. It charts a particularly fertile period in a long career. A and B-sides of the period singles are included, as it runs from early hits like 'Beat the Clock' and 'The Number One Song in Heaven' through biggest American hit single 'Cool Places' (performed with Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's) to selections from 1984's 'Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat' LP. Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by respected 'Record Collector' journalist Michael Heatley.
