Angst in My Pants by Sparks LP (Atlantic, USA, 1982) STILL SEALED CUT-OUT

$

35

Brand new, still sealed.  There is a cut-out notch in upper right corner (see 2nd photo for close-up.  This picture makes it look like there are creases next to the wedding veil, but this is just glare in the photo).  There is a 1" crease from the cut-out notch to the edge, and another crease about 3" long in the lower right corner.  All four corners have some fraying.  What appears to be light ringwear is mostly or all in the shrinkwrap I believe.  It really does look very good overall.

Bluhm.Possibly the best album in Sparks' long and varied career, ANGST IN MY PANTS is also a perfect example of American synth-pop at its most musically and lyrically creative. From the gently throbbing title track through to the completely bizarre, pounding "Eaten By The Monster Of Love," every tune is a perfect marriage of amazingly catchy keyboard-dominated pop and surreal, almost Dadaist lyrics.Singer Russell Mael delivers his keyboardist brother Ron's prolix, pun-filled, and engagingly satirical lyrics with just the right notes of silliness and sincerity. Such tunes as "Instant Weight Loss" and the Beach Boys pastiche "Sextown U.S.A." definitely stand out. It's a rare and impressive feat to make an album that's consistently funny without being merely jokey. With the brilliantly titled ANGST IN MY PANTS, Sparks created just such an album.
