      January 2003 sees the first ever CD releases by cult Dutch electro pioneers Minny Pops, who released four albums and a string of singles on Factory and Plurex between 1979 and 1985. Formed by mainman Wally van Middendorp in 1978, the band released several left-field singles and an album on Dutch label Plurex before joining Factory Records in 1980. After acclaimed singles such as Dolphin's Spurt, Secret Story and Time, and becoming the first Dutch group to record a Peel Session, the group released the superb album Sparks in a Dark Room in 1982. The tracks were digitally remastered by the band in 2002 and the set runs for a full 74 minutes, while the booklet includes a detailed history of the band and rare photographs. LTM.
