Full version appears on a bonus-cd included with the SPARKS GUIDE BOOK, released in 2006/2007 in Japan. Awesome track - doesn't sound like 1969 at all.
The Maels were considered, even then, an inside joke. Most of this period, the seeds of Sparks were planted in some local garage rehearsal. Only one song was recorded by Urban Renewal Project : "Computer Girl". Urban Renewal Project died when Ron and Russell Mael met Earle Mankey one year later.
Before Halfnelson Ron Mael and Russell Mael used to lead a group called Urban Renewal Project but two even earlier incarnations of Halfnelson were supposedly called Moonbaker Abbey and Farmer's Market. The Urban Renewal Project started around 1967.
@desoi @UserSi5 I have the full song as an mp3. If you want, I could email it to you. :)

Did the Pet Shop Boys get their inspiration from these two?
Seems feasible with Neil Tennant (singer and vocalist) as Russell and Chris Lowe (miserable keyboard player who never smiled) as Ron.
Worth some more research I think !
