Additional information
Additional personnel includes: Stevie Wonder, Pete Townshend, Andrae Crouch Singers, Lennie Castro, Thomas Dolby. In 1986, Prefab Sprout recorded an album's worth of tunes that the band's British label rejected as "uncommercial." Stung by that criticism, the Newcastle quartet responded with FROM LANGLEY PARK TO MEMPHIS, an agreeably slick and unapologetically commercial set of mature pop songs. The gambit paid off, as the ironically bouncy "The King of Rock and Roll" and the sharp Springsteen critique "Cars and Girls" were, respectively, the band's biggest U.K. and U.S. hits. Other highlights include the jazzily soulful "Nightingales," which features a lovely harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder, and the gospel-inflected "I Remember That" and "The Venus of the Soup Kitchen," both of which feature guest turns by the Andre Crouch Singers. Having made its commercial point, Prefab Sprout returned nearly three years later with the gorgeous but willfully knotty JORDAN: THE COMEBACK. In the meantime, the band's British label issued the previously-rejected "uncommercial" tracks as the stopgap album PROTEST SONGS.
