A Top 10, 'Beat the Clock' was the last of a run of 8 successful singles in half a decade for American duo Sparks in Britain.  I had always thought them British, and a look at their chart history certainly upholds my belief: England was far and away their biggest market. Way ahead of their time, perhaps their experimental style in the mid to late 70's was better suited to the far more eclectic mix of pop styles that were represented in the UK. charts.

'Beat the clock' was produced by Giorgio Moroder and the track managed to crack the Top 10 in Britain, while Belgium and Holland also afforded Sparks a hit with this disco paced piece of pop.
