40 track best of compilation that really lived up to the title "Ultimate Collection " at the time of its release in 1991. It covers a 20 year period and Includes some rare B Sides and album tracks not just the hits.

Sparks is a somewhat obscure band that have an impressively long career. They are made up of the quirky songwriting Mael brothers. While their songs are kitchy and eccentric, they are catchy and this collection offers just about all you'd ever want from this great band. I could go on and on - but brevity is the soul of wit.
