The Best of Prefab Sprout: A Life of Surprises
Description
Product description NEW SONY CD1992 - EAN 5099747188626 .co.uk Though each of their studio albums is worth seeking out, this "best of" collection is a neat shorthand way of experiencing the technologically perfect, intellectually stimulating pop music Paddy McAloon and his cronies from Newcastle, England created during the second half of the 1980s. Two tracks, "The Sound of Crying" and "If You Don't Love Me" are previously unreleased. Since they have had little chart success, the rest are somebody's idea of what makes a great Prefab Sprout song. "The King of Rock 'n' Roll" has a lilting bounce; "Wild Horses" benefits from producer Thomas Dolby's computer wizardry as sounds pop up and out of the mix instantaneously; "We Let the Stars Go" is McAloon at his most emotionally sincere. --Rob O'Connor

GREAT CD. Packed with gems - love it!
Had this before but took to hospice shop when I bought the Prefab double album of greatest hits. They haven't enough material forca double CD so bought the single CD again and the double will now go in the car or hospice shop.

Solid compilation album
With a number of compilation albums to choose from, 'A Life Of Surprises' covers much of Prefab Sprout's best material over the period 1983-1992. As you would expect, the catchy 'The King Of Rock 'N' Roll' kicks things off splendidly and is followed by the gorgeous 'When Love Breaks Down'; other highlights include 'Cars And Girls', 'I Remember That' and 'We Let The Stars Go'. At a decent second hand price, this collection serves as a solid gateway to the band's studio albums and is well worth the investment in my view.
