One of the greatest underrated rock tracks of the 80's. The King of Rock n Roll destroyed them in many respects, they became a novelty band. When they are in fact , so much more.

In the mid to late 80's i was on the Continental Trucking run to the then West Germany, and all the while my Cassette player in the Merc, was only playing Prefab Sprout Tapes, on all Eight speakers, they are still my favourite band to this day, and they always will be, i have never seen them in Concert, but now thanks to CD's, they are in my Computer forever. I first heard this Band in 79/80 i was 19, and will be 60 in July, that's 41 years! if that is not Love then i do not know what is.

When I was at University I worked at a petrol station near Thomas Dolby's house....one day a silver Nissan Primera pulled up and out came Martin....I asked for his autograph and he signed the receipt, "That's the first time that's ever happened" he said, hard to believe?... I just found that receipt tucked into the case of a Prefab Album...11th April 1998 14:08...23.1Litres unleaded £15:00....he even stopped the pump dead on £15, that's timing for you...what a lovely, talented chap.
@kasimsultonfan4 жыл бұрын
Dunno if he's underrated. He's indeed a talented chap and perfectly good at what he does , and I wouldn't take anything away from him , but it's clear where the outstanding genius was in that band. And as a band , they were absolutely criminally under appreciated.

Wendy always elicited a feeling of protection. A beautiful, quiet muse who gave the band that little bit of mystery, that little bit extra. Paddy had the 'go'; the writing, the music, but Wendy got it across the line, and made Prefab Sprout enter our dreams. They were nothing without her quiet, understated beauty.
