I have been a fan since ca. 2013-2014, having first heard Lions in my Own Garden (Exit Someone) on a compilation, but when I finally heard Bonny, via The Steve McQueen album it was like a bolt out of the blue. A far, far distant memory that I wasn’t even aware existed was completely unlocked as soon as I heard the opening jangle to that song and when the chorus came in I pulled at my hair in astonishment. I used to hear it on the radio in the car with my mom driving me to preschool or to my grandparents house a few towns over. Ca. 1986-87. NYC area. I recognized it from the first note. I hadn’t been thinking about it in all that time, just totally buried deep down and I knew right then that this band was something really special and I couldn’t be happier to have had that moment of discovery. I’ve put quite a few people onto the Sprouts, insisting they give this album a listen.
This is the 3rd tune of the 1985 Reading University Concert, and it was broadcast on BBC in 1986. See below.

Extraordinario grupo década canción gracias a Dios pude disfrutar los 80s y me puedo hacer un buen análisis de la basura de hoy y lo bien hecho de ese tiempo,lastima no regresará otra generación igual.
Superb song. Songwriters in the '60s were numerous (US and GB). In the 70s, I can't recall many. Electric Light Orchestra (Wood/Lynne), America (Beckley/Bunnell) being ones I remember. In the 80s it was Prefab Sprout Paddy McAloon, who caught my attention.
Possibly my favourite prefab sprout song
mine too
For all the wonders of Swoon: yes, me too.
A masterpiece. My all time favourite tune !
Definitely
200% - my favourite time of all time

Great live version of one of my absolute favorite songs. They were wonderful, so sad they don't make music anymore.
Wonderful!! A Gem of an album!. What a great drummer Conti is.
their best song, for sure
Possibly my favourite song of all time!?
One of the best songs ever. Steve McQueen needs a box set release right now.
Agreed.

Paddy Mac Aloon est un pur génie...Pefab Sprout a été le plus grand groupe pop des années 80 et 90......Leur musique m'a sauvé...
This song................can give you hope
Exactamente....si....😢
Truly beautiful. The best song they ever did. The opening 20 seconds are like a time warp back 40 years. I count the minutes and the seconds too…
Una maravilla de canción, atemporal.
Extraordinario grupo década canción gracias a Dios pude disfrutar los 80s y me puedo hacer un buen análisis de la basura de hoy y lo bien hecho de ese tiempo,lastima no regresará otra generación igual.
Awesome tune from an awesome album. Paddy is right up there for me 🙌🙌

Yo les pude ver en el concierto de Madrid hace mas de 25 años y sonaron de lujo
Excelente recuerdazooo.muy actual jamas pasara de moda.los 80 siempre en mi memoria.
When this album dropped in the eighties it was unbelievable. a perfect record.
Teenage memories,this album stood out by miles,absolutely fantastic track,long live the sprout!
Superb song. Songwriters in the '60s were numerous (US and GB). In the 70s, I can't recall many. Electric Light Orchestra (Wood/Lynne), America (Beckley/Bunnell) being ones I remember.
In the 80s it was Prefab Sprout Paddy McAloon, who caught my attention.
The absolute Sprout anthem to me.
"Missed chances and the same regrets" - which sums it up for me . Hope all of you people have managed better.
a treasure from the 80s to eternity....................
Amazing version!❤️
Stunning, soo stunning
Amo essa banda !
Prefab Sprout es un clásico de la música popular contemporánea
