The name is very misleading as it's Sparks's 7th album (or 5th if you ignore the Halfnelson discs). At this stage the band was well past the storming success of Kimono My House which had established them in the UK as a major act, and the title seems to be a reference to their attempt to re-establish themselves in the USA. Although reviews at the time slammed the record and suggested that "Goofing Off" (the 6th track) was somehow a summing up of the band's attitude, this is grossly unfair. Listening again nearly 30 years later, "Introducing..." is in fact one of the best albums of the band's career, full of the Maels' characteristic wit and musical variety - some great guitar work and not a glimmer of the Euro Synth-pop that was to follow. Deserves to be rehabilitated and celebrated (unlike their genuinely terrible 1988 disc "Interior Design")

aw c'mon Interior Design has some brilliant songs. It's just a cheap sounding album that sounds like it was recorded at home, because it was!
