Prefab Sprout- wow!

[EJWW]

Heard this on 6music this morning. 

I've liked Prefab for years but never heard this tremendous bass performance before. 

The bass is really forward in the mix and I just love the unmistakable Stingray tone. 

I particularly like the double-stop slides. 

GASing for a Musicman now...😫

Martin McAloon was a seriously underrated creative bass player - Prefab Sprout were a superb band with Paddy McAloon's beautifully crafted songs.

I always felt their rather silly name never did them any favours, but their music still sounds refreshingly good 40 or so years after it was released. 😊

That's great.

That is really good. Great playing and tone.

[machinehead]

Excellent stuff!  I must get back to listening to some Prefab Sprout.

Frank.

Great band and such good songs, love them.

Useless trivia, but the woman from Prefab Sprout lived on my in-laws street for years. I still often see her son around the village.
