Repertoire Records 

Repertoire Records is a multinational label that specializes in reissuing sought after rock releases from the beat, progressive, and psychedelic genres. They focus on using the original cover art and often release limited editions as well as new editions of earlier reissues. To ensure accuracy, detailed documentation is provided to help distinguish between different versions. Repertoire Records is distributed in Austria by Ixthuluh Tonträger-Vertrieb and LPs mastered by Peter Harenberg can be identified by the handwritten 'H1' at the runout area.

Brothers Ron and Russell Mael from Los Angeles, USA have been making diverse music since 1969 under various incarnations of Sparks. In 1979 they ditched the guitars and keyboards of glam geek rock and started working with Italian producer Giorgio Moroder, beginning a love affair with electronic music.
Since then they have collaborated with a variety of artists including Finitribe, Les Rita Mitsouko, Erasure, Faith No More and Franz Ferdinand. Their innovative approach to music has earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim throughout their career.
With their unique blend of genres and unmistakable style, Sparks continue to push boundaries in the world of music. Whether it's through their captivating live performances or their thought-provoking lyrics, this iconic duo remains an influential force in the industry.

Back In Stock

Originally released in 1983. Sparks' 12th album got off to the best possible start when the first single, Cool Places, a breakneckedly breezy duet with the Go-Go's' Jane Wiedlin, spun off to become the Mael brothers' first ever Top 50 hit in their American homeland. It would also be their last, but an entire generation of new fans arose regardless to pursue the siblings through both their future convolutions and their past ones too. In Outer Space's almost ruthless distillation of all that had gone before was, then, an ideal place for them to start. Like the duo's Giorgio Moroder era, In Outer Space represented a creative rejuvenation that its immediate predecessors had scarcely dared hint at.
