I've never heard of Live at the Bottom Line but found this page. SPARKS US Tour 1976 - Live at the Bottom Line, New York City
Equator has always been an amazing song, a song to blow and mess up your speakers especially when Russell goes really high pitch.
Yes. I think I like their early sound better than their later/popular sound. I never knew Brian Eno contributed to their debut, but somehow that doesn't surprise me.

I actually uploaded the live version of "Equator" I'd mentioned on youtube, a long time ago.
Here's the link.

I love the poisoned roses bit. Too cute!

Brian Eno contributed to the Devo debut (producer) and not the Sparks one!

I gathered that. ;D

I find it interesting (not to get too off-topic here, but still) that Eno also teamed up with David Byrne of Talking Heads. I find it more interesting that today's youth (those that are just getting into the "weird" part of music history) don't really seem to know who Brian is, or why he's so important.

big fan of Eno here, but only his early glam-rock/quirky pop stuff, not the later ambient stuff

Likewise.

Whenever I hit up a record shop I always hope, in the back of my mind, that I'll find a copy of Here Come the Warm Jets.

Nah, man. I just don't have anything to play a compact disc on.

Been listening to Propaganda again today after having not heard it in years, have to say its the Sparks at their finest and is every bit as good as Kimono also released the same year. Propaganda has to be one of their quirkiest and most imaginative albums, it also has some of their best ever lyrics. Also it always had a great album cover both back and front.
