This town ain't big enough for both of us - British whale

The Sparks' 'This town ain't big enough for both of us' was one of the first songs I was grabbed by as a child, not just because of the strange appearance of Ron Mael. It's a great, dynamic song and a true classic. 

Several cover versions of the song exist, but I didn't know about this one until last weekend. This single comes with a free poster and is pressed on clear vinyl. Reason enough, I think, to pick up this disc and to listen to what this synth-pop solo project of Justin Hawkins of 'The Darkness' fame made of it. Well... it's not bad. A bit strange, maybe.

My collection: 7" single no. 6973
Found: Record fair, Den Bosch, 22 April 2023
Tracks: 'This town ain't big enough for both of us' / 'America'
