'Propaganda' is a classic rock album, complete with hard hitting guitars, thumping bass, pounding drums and manic falsetto-style vocals. There is an energy and forcefulness to the songs that Sparks have never quite managed to replicate since. The album was a Top 10 hit in the UK.Tracklist
'Propaganda' could easily have been called 'Kimono My House Part 2' as it is very similar to its predecessor. However both 'Kimono' and 'Propaganda' are radically different from the earlier Bearsville albums and subsequent Island albums.
The album cover was shot on the south coast of England in a gale force wind. It was freezing. The photographer had originally suggested that the Maels be bound and gagged and dropped from an airplane with parachutes on and he would photograph them from the air as he too descended. The siblings declined his offer.
Both the singles 'Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth' and 'Something For The Girl With Everything' were UK Top 20 hits.
