  1. Hello from France. I am the biographer of Paddy McAloon and Prefab Sprout and will be publishing my book on 16 August 2014 on Indigenous Press. As you guys are stalwart fans of Prefab Sprout, I thought maybe you could feature the book on your website. For full details of the book, go to my website either at http://www.PrefabSprout.co.uk or http://www.PaddyMcAloon.co.uk – if you want images or text to support this, I’m at your disposal, too. Regards, John
    p.s. I love what you guys do here

  2. X reissue is a straight re-release of the OOP Rhino expanded edition – no new mastering, no new tracks.
