[Mael-list] Sparks reissues

[david anderson]

apart from the Fairfield live tracks, others like Gone
With The Wind and Tearing the Place apart first came
out on the CD of 1994. They were on the original Best
of Sparks Vol.1 of 1977.

I agree a separate CD album of rarities would seem
fairer. They did this to some degree with the Heaven &
Hell Collection double CD's in the early 1990's.
