dalvanius and sparkle on the same blog!!! a man after my own heart!! took me years to hunt down dalvanius' singles (got two of em last year) and i have the sparkle single too. glad someone else remembers them. i vaguelly remember hearing that sparkle won a battle of the bands comp at the time?? the single was their reward?? but then that was a long time ago :)
Hi Ozzie
A tasty little bit of info here is that the vocalist for Sparkle was David Gibbons. David went on to front Sydney hard rock band Squeeze (who's main claim to fame is they were the reason the British band became UK Squeeze haha. But they did release an album & 4 singles on the short lived Laser Label thru RCA
Something you can add to ur write up. Now who has the album & singles I wonder??
