from allmusic.com:
One of the most beloved British pop bands of the '80s and '90s, Prefab Sprout has had a minimum of chart success in the United States, where they're all but unknown outside of their devoted cult following, but singer/songwriter Paddy McAloon is regularly hailed as one of the great songwriters of his era. Critics regularly compare McAloon favorably to Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, and even Cole Porter, but the self-effacing and publicity-shy performer modestly prefers to let his increasingly rare albums speak for themselves.
JORDAN:The Comeback will always be my favorite album ever recorded. wistful & blissful! The USA loves Paddy & The Band! HUGELY influencial here! All the Prefab records are magnificent. Love them! Ciao, Steve
