Originally Sparks were known as Halfnelson, formed in Los Angeles by brothers Russell and Ron Mael. Their initial demo tapes got the attention of Todd Rundgren, who was making records for Bearsville Records, and he was intrigued with the band as their sound was like nothing being offered then or even now. "It wasn't the very first band I discovered, but it was the most unusual thing I ever discovered," said Rundgren.

Initially released in 1971 as Halfnelson, the band's name changed to Sparks and so did the album cover artwork with a 1972 re-release, and their status grew as the first album soon became an underground success with their debut single, "Wonder Girl."

For over five decades, Russell and Ron have maintained an amazing career that continues to attract new fans every day. Their concerts sell out all over the world and their catalog of albums is legendary.

Mastered by Joe Reagoso from the original Bearsville Records tapes, this reissue features the album in a first time ever gatefold cover presentation, complete with lyrics as well as brand new liner notes from the legendary producer Todd Rundgren.
