Sparks from their underrated 1975 LP Indiscreet, then Gleaming Spires, with 1981 Sparks bassist and drummer, then a holy trio of tracks: Steve Harley, David Bowie, and Suzi Quatro – my eyes are going teary!… We pick up that magic again in the last 8 tracks of part 2, but nothing is here that doesn’t deserve to be – all good.
