Sparkle and Fade is the second album by Everclear, released on May 23, 1995. It was their first album to be released exclusively on Capitol Records; their previous effort, World of Noise, was re-released on Capitol after its introduction through the Portland, Oregon based label, Tim/Kerr Records. The album produced the singles "Heroin Girl," "Santa Monica," "Heartspark Dollarsign" and "You Make Me Feel Like a Whore".
The album's cover features childhood pictures of the three members of the band. It is Everclear's third-best-selling album to date.[4] It climbed to the top of the Heatseekers Chart in January 1996.[5]
