Sparks - Big Beat (4735909) LP

Big Beat is the sixth studio album by Sparks, originally released in 1976. Marking a bold stylistic shift, the record sees the Mael brothers moving away from their earlier glam art-pop sound toward a tougher, guitar-driven rock edge inspired by the American scene. Featuring standout tracks such as “Big Boy,” “I Bought the Mississippi River,” and “Fill-er-Up,” Big Beat captures Sparks at their most energetic and playful. With its sharp wit, dynamic riffs, and theatrical flair, this album stands as one of the band’s most underrated yet influential works.
