FanMael Tribute CD

 

The story

In 1998, after a business trip to the US where I met a fellow Sparks fan, I thought it would be a nice idea to release an album of Sparks covers, made by fans only. We placed the call in the FanMael fanzine and received so many reactions that we had to assume a double CD. My original approach was to make a simple CD-R and copy it for those who might be interested, at cost price, but Carl van Breukelen, who had just joined our team to set up the website, wanted to go bigger and to release an official CD.

                                                                                                            The original design for the sleeve which got axed.
