Please re-release this on vinyl, Sparks. I don't want to spend a fortune on a copy someone has worn out :( (And make it part of a Lil' Beethoven/HYL/Exotic Creatures set too?)

There isn’t a hard dividing line between the technology and what you are as a band… We’ve always been aware of that, and that’s why we’ve always tried to put ourselves in situations with different producers or different instruments or different kind of concepts. We realise that all those things are what enable us to get to where we wanna be as musicians. It isn’t like a classical pianist showing up at a concert, and there’s a beautifully tuned Steinway and that’s all he needs. We realise that there has to be a lot of choices that you can make.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly  (1966)

May 4, 1891 - We will always remember. An examination by experts leaves little doubt that a personal contest between the two men ended, as it could hardly fail to end in such a situation, in their reeling over, locked in each other’s arms. Any attempt at recovering the bodies was absolutely hopeless, and there, deep down in that dreadful cauldron of swirling water and seething foam, will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and the foremost champion of the law of their generation.   – “The Final Problem”

"well one of the title characters drinks lighter fluid in the first act because he is cold and at one point five consecutive lines of dialogue between three characters are literally just the word ‘sherry’"
