Product Description

Description

Originally recorded in demo form back in 1992 as the followup to 1990's 'Jordan: The Comeback' but shelved due to a misunderstanding between Paddy McAloon and his record company,'Let's Change The World With Music' comes some seventeen years after its initial inception. Recorded and played by McAloon himself, the original tapes have been spruced up by long-time collaborator Calum Malcolm and while sounding slightlydated the album showcases McAloon's unique ability to deliver the perfect pop song.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to re-discover Prefab Sprout, 21 Aug 2009
The album has now been played in full once on German Radio Bremen, and having listened to that radio show, I'm relieved and exhilarated at the same time. Because:

This album the missing link between Jordan: The Comeback and Andromeda Heights, it's the perfect combination of heartfelt simplicity and exuberant intelligence in song-writing. The full album doesn't sound very demo-ish, the sound is lush and brilliant, the arrangements are intricate and big at the same time.

If you loved Steve McQueen and Jordan, but had your problems with or weren't interested in Andromeda Heights and The Gunman, this album will make you fall in love with Prefab Sprout all over again. I cannot wait for my pre-ordered copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most exciting release of the decade...., 21 Aug 2009
By Martyn (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
...and I do not use these words lightly.

Paddy Mcaloon doesn't do things the simple way, and I think thats part of the reason why we love him. This album is now 17 years old and was originally intended to be the follow up to Jordan:The Comeback (quite possibly the finest record ever made)unfortunatly for Sprout fans it ended up in one of Paddy's legendary cardboard boxes for reasons too complicated to go into just now....

I have had the fortune to hear the album all the way through and can categorically state it is outstanding. If you love wonderful intelligent pop, with arrangements and chord sequences to die for, then this is an essential purchase for you.

"Genius" is a description often bestowed all too readily upon undeserved recipients. In this case it is totally merited..PADDY YOU'RE A GENIUS!!...if we shout it loud enough he might just start opening up the other boxes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant comeback of Prefab Sprout, 14 Aug 2009
Judged by the preliminary releases of a few songs and based on the excerpts on this site, it seems that Paddy McAloon's long-awaited album "Let's Change the World the Music" is a real winner. It delivers everything you come to expect from a Prefab Sprout album: beautiful melodies, intricate lyrics, honest and deviously simple pop songs!

This album was first written and recorded in demo form back in 1992-93, but only now released and tweaked with modern technology which enhances the original demos. Thus, the timeless quality of McAloon's music is put to the ultimate test: and it passes with flagging colours. This music will stay with the listener long after the cd player or the mp3 player is turned off.

This is pure pop in its finest incarnation. And Paddy McAloon is one of the best writers in his chosen field - if not the best. Let's hope that this release will mark the beginning of many a fine new album from the prolific writer in Newcastle. Let's change the world with music - we hear you, Paddy!
