About

American band from Los Angeles, formed at UCLA in 1968.
Halfnelson was released in 1971 on Bearsville Records. It was not very successful and did not reach the Billboard 200 in the US.
Shortly after the release of the album the group changed their name to Sparks. The album was then re-released in 1972 as Sparks. The new version of the album featured new artwork that was simpler, displaying the group in more of a classic profile superimposed against a red brick pattern.
