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.

Thanks for the added information Mike! I hope so too!  So would this be the Mael brother's second film (at least)? They had a small appearance in a not so good movie called ROLLERCOASTER I believe.

I was thinking about Sparks related to this discussion. A lot of music that I love I have to be in the mood for. That is, there is a handful of artists that if I put it on and I never think, "oh I'm not in the mood for that". Sparks seems to be a band if I put them on I'm happy I did. 

This strikes me as both wonderful and concerning.
