Just seen the sad news that James passed away last week. He was one of the most enthusiastic participants in the documentary 'if this isn't a hit, I'm going to do something else, so I started directing television commercials..'
Gary Stewart passed before the doc came out and Sal Maida died a couple of months ago.
All sad. Enjoy life while you're able.... |

Oh no, this is the first that I've heard about this. I really liked him and his wife in The Sparks Brothers. RIP Thaddeus James Lowe.

| So sad ... Woofer was an amazing production by Thaddeus James L. |

| Didn’t know - that’s terrible news - Woofer has goot to be top 5 in anyone’s Sparks album list, and he seemed a very cool guy |

In articles about Sparks, the first two albums are often dismissed; they are merely prologue for KMH. I think Woofer is an AMAZING album. I usually skip Do Re Mi (I just don't like The Sound of Music, so it was handicapped from the start), but the rest is gold. It's too bad that there hasn't been a digital re-release on which the end of the album is as intended to be and not sped up. The vinyl makes the final songs so much more enjoyable.

Completely shocking that we're in 2025 and there's never been a CD or digital version of Woofer that corrects that up-speeding of the final four tracks!
Sure, New Music For Amnesiacs (the full box set) had both Batteries and Whippings restored at the correct speed, so that technically just leaves Underground and The Louvre awaiting correction.... |
