It was released in 1975 and later re-released with three bonus tracks. The album was produced by [[Tony Visconti]], with whom the group reunited in 1997 to produce several tracks for their retrospective album ''[[Plagiarism (album)|Plagiarism]].'' The song "How Are You Getting Home?" was used in [[Leos Carax]]'s film [[Holy Motors]]. ==Release== ''Indiscreet'' was released in October 1975, nearly a year after Sparks' previous album. It was not as successful as ''[[Kimono My House]]'' or ''[[Propaganda (Sparks album)|Propaganda]]''; reaching #18 on the [[UK Album Chart]]<ref name=chartstats>{{cite web|url=http://www.chartstats.com/artistinfo.php?id=2474 |title=Chart Stats - Sparks| publisher=chartstats.com|accessdate=2008-07-22}}</ref> and #169 in the US.<ref>{{cite web|url= {{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p5494/charts-awards/billboard-albums|pure_url=yes}}|title=Allmusic - Billboard Albums - Sparks|publisher=Billboard|accessdate=2008-12-04}}</ref> The group's next two albums were even less successful in Europe and the US. They would not garner significant attention until 1979's ''[[No. 1 In Heaven]]''. "Get In The Swing" and "Looks, Looks, Looks" were released as singles. Like the parent album they were only moderately successful reaching #27 and #26 in the UK.<ref name=chartstats/> ==Re-release== ''Indiscreet'' was re-issued and remastered by Island in 1994 and 2006. The first issue by the Island Masters subsidiary added the b-side "Profile" and the non-album single "[[I Want to Hold Your Hand|I Wanna Hold Your Hand]]", and its b-side "England". The '21st Century Edition' did not include "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" or "England"; in their stead it included the rare "The Wedding Of Jacqueline Kennedy to Russell Mael" and a live recording of "Looks, Looks, Looks". ==Track listing== {{tracklist | all_writing = [[Ron Mael]]; except where indicated | headline = Side one | writing_credits = yes | title1 = Hospitality On Parade | length1 = 4:00 | title2 = Happy Hunting Ground | length2 = 3:44 | title3 = Without Using Hands | length3 = 3:20 | title4 = Get in the Swing | length4 = 4:08 | title5 = Under the Table With Her | length5 = 2:20 | title6 = How Are You Getting Home? | length6 = 2:57 }} {{tracklist | headline = Side two | writing_credits = yes | title7 = Pineapple | writer7 = [[Russell Mael]] | length7 = 2:45 | title8 = Tits | length8 = 4:57 | title9 = It Ain't 1918 | length9 = 2:08 | title10 = The Lady is Lingering | length10 = 3:40 | title11 = In the Future | length11 = 2:12 | title12 = Looks, Looks, Looks | length12 = 2:35 | title13 = Miss the Start, Miss the End | length13 = 2:46 }} {{tracklist | headline = 21st Century Edition bonus tracks | writing_credits = yes | title14 = Profile | length14 = 3:30 | title15 = The Wedding of Jacqueline Kennedy to Russell Mael | writer15 = Russell Mael | length15 = 1:36 | title16 = Looks, Looks, Looks (live at Fairfield Halls 09/11/75) | length16 = 4:02 }} ==Personnel== * [[Russell Mael]] – vocals * [[Ron Mael]] – keyboards * Ian Hampton – bass * Trevor White – guitar * [[Norman "Dinky" Diamond]] – drums with * Mike Piggott – fiddle on "It Ain't 1918" * Tony Visconti – orchestral arrangements == References == {{reflist|2}} {{Sparks}} [[Category:Sparks (band) albums]] [[Category:1975 albums]] [[Category:Albums produced by Tony Visconti]] [[Category:Island Records albums]] {{1970s-rock-album-stub}}'
