{"product_id":"sparks-gratuitous-sax-dlx-cd-405053852935","title":"Sparks - Gratuitous Sax \u0026 Senseless Violins [Deluxe LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 years since its original release, Sparks’ 16th studio album ‘Gratuitous Sax \u0026amp; Senseless Violins’ is reissued with remastered and bonus material. The original, remastered album on special coloured vinyl is accompanied by 2 CDs of eclectic bonus tracks and rarities and, in a rare move, Sparks have opened the vaults to share previously unreleased demos and recordings. After a few years working on the as-yet-unrealised Mai The Psychic Girl film project - with both Tsui Hark (whose vocals appear on this record) and Tim Burton -, collaborating with Scottish band Finitribe on 1993’s ‘National Crime Awareness Week’, and producing demos for Star Trek regular and future Sparks drummer Christi Haydon, Ron and Russell Mael returned to the pop forum and the charts in 1994 with ‘Gratuitous Sax \u0026amp; Senseless Violins’. The first song written for the album ‘When Do I Get To Sing ‘My Way’ (originally titled ‘Punch And Judy Show’) would go on to become the number one radio song of ‘94 in Germany and a top 40 hit in the UK. A mouth-watering collection for fans and completists, the two bonus discs of this 25th anniversary collection comprise B sides, remixes, live recordings and the unreleased tracks from the Christi Haydon EP and, uniquely for Sparks, a selection of demo tracks or “orphan songs”. The release comes complete with fresh artwork and booklet with liner notes by Ron and Russell Mael.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGratuitous Sax (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Do I Get to Sing \"My Way\" (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing [2019 - Remaster]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrankly, Scarlett, I Don't Give a Damn (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Thought I Told You to Wait in the Car (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow That I Own the BBC (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTsui Hark (2019 - Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ghost of Liberace (2019 - Remaster) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensless Violins (2019 - Remaster) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Go Surfing (2019 - Remaster) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNational Crime Awareness Week (Complete Psycho) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Do I Get to Sing \"My Way\" (The Grid Radio Edit) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing [Bernard Butler's Fashionable World of Fashion Mix] 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow That I Own the BBC (Live Acoustic Version, Simon Mayo Show) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Do I Get to Sing \"My Way\" (Vince Clarke Remix) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's An Achorman 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Drummer Boy 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeat the Clock (Live in Concert) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNational Crime Awareness Week (13 Minutes in Heaven) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Do I Get to Sing \"My Way\" (Sticks ; Stones Remix) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing [The Beatmasters' Full-Blown Dub] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow That I Own the BBC (Motiv 8 Extended Vocal Mix) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Do I Get to Sing \"My Way\" (Pro-Gress Mix) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNational Crime Awareness Week (The Janet Leigh Mix) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide B 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Did I Leave My Halo? 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's Beautiful (So What) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-Atlantic 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Farmer's Daughter 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Angry Young Man (Ain't Angry No More) 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Hope 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's An Anchorman (Demo) 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Can Conquer All 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's What I Call Paradise 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Angry Young Man (Ain't Angry No More) [Ron Vocal Version] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-Atlantic (Ron Vocal Version) 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's Entertainment (Feat.
