Curb Records announces the 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Sparks’ 1986 album Music That You Can Dance To, arriving October 30, 2026. The reissue appears in expanded and remastered form, across CD, vinyl, and digital formats, with 17 remixes, unreleased demos, alternate takes, and new mastering by longtime Sparks engineer Bill Inglot.

The album’s synth‑pop direction — following the electronic breakthrough of Nº 1 in Heaven — is highlighted through expanded mixes of “Armies Of The Night,” “Change,” “Fingertips,” “The Scene,” and the title track, alongside the cult‑film connections to Fright Night and Rad.

Digital pre‑orders include instant access to the U.K. Extended Club Version of the title track, available digitally for the first time.
