Limited Edition 45th Anniversary White Vinyl/Green Vinyl 2LP
An exclusive 45th anniversary double vinyl release of Paste Magazine's #1 synth-pop album of all time 'No 1 In Heaven' by Sparks, and the Sparks-composed-and-produced lost gem 'Is There More To Life Than Dancing?' by Noel. Released in 1979, the Giorgio Moroder-produced 'No. 1 In Heaven' became the blueprint album for all electronic music to come. The same year, Ron and Russell Mael wrote, produced, and recorded the album 'Is There More To Life Than Dancing?' for LA-based singer Noel. Together these albums showcase the Maels' electronic adventurousness and trailblazing foresight into the next decade. Bands such as Joy Division, Duran Duran, Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure), etc. have cited 'No. 1 In Heaven' as influential to their own work.
The limited edition 45th anniversary double vinyl package features the newly remastered and Sparks-approved pioneering electronic album No. 1 In Heaven on white vinyl and the lost gem Sparks-produced Is There More To Life Than Dancing? by NOEL on green vinyl. Together these 1979 albums showcase the Maels' trailblazing electronic adventurousness and foresight into the sound of the next decade. Housed inside a clear PVC sleeve with obi and hype sticker.
