lwh1963 22nd Feb 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumSparks - Big Beat | Album released in October 1976.
Some early copies (mine included) actually contained broken copy of the previous Island release '801 Live' (ILPS 9444) instead of the Sparks disc!

lwh1963 22nd Feb 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumSparks - Sparks | Two different masterings exist. The first is the usual normal version (either a smooth label or a rough textured label with a smooth rim). The second has the last up-tempo section of 'Big Bands' mastered as part of '(No More Mr Nice Guys). Again both smooth or rough textured copies were issued.
The album was not issued as K45511 in 1972, American copies were imported and had the U.K. number stickered on the sleeve, official release date for U.K. was October 1974.
Later copies have the 'Warner Communications' and logo at the bottom of the label.
