Prefab Sprout is an English pop band hailing from Witton Gilbert, County Durham. They achieved great success in the 1980s with seven of their albums reaching the UK Top 30.
Formed in [year], Prefab Sprout quickly gained popularity for their unique sound and catchy melodies. Led by singer-songwriter Paddy McAloon, the band's music seamlessly blends elements of pop, rock, and new wave.
With their infectious hooks and intelligent lyrics, Prefab Sprout became a staple of the British music scene. Their albums consistently garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, solidifying their status as one of the most influential bands of their time.

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 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
