Production


Marc Moulin and Dan Lacksman were introduced to Ron Mael and Russell Mael of Sparks by their mutual friend, Lio.[3] Facing pressures to release an album in English, Moulin extended an offer to the Maels to contribute lyrics to their upcoming LP. This prompted a long-term friendship between the two bands, and led directly to Lacksman's production of the 1982 album In Outer Space.[4]

Due to concerns about censors and the album's title, the album was released in the UK as ‘Birds & Bees.’ This release contains a different track listing and the inclusion of a few new pieces, including ‘L’ Amour Toujours,’ which would also be released on Telex's 1984 LP, Wonderful World.[5]
