>Seduction was commissioned by Swedish radio -- it's a one hour musical, and, in its original broadcast form, it was just straight through. Subsequently, the album was released in various forms, including a box set with English and Swedish versions. The box comes with a CD which is banded. Sparks eventually released a limited edition stand alone CD.

>It's very much a piece, with only a few standout songs. Director Guy Maddin has agreed to direct a movie version -- he directed a read through stage version at the L.A. Film Festival in 2011. The band needs to get financing -- I hope they can pull it off, as Maddin's eccentric vision meshes well with the Maels.

Btw, the vinyl edition i have is also banded.
ps I'd love to hear a Plagiarism version of this with Russell on all vocals, especially 'Why Do You Take That Tone With Me?'
