Bluesnik Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 What opened my eyes re: Prefab Sprout was the C86 cassette, given away with a NME. And then I heard Steve McQueen. Never new of Swoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'prefab' is our shortening of prefabricated (maybe yours too?), most commonly used for cheap WW2 era housing to replace bomb damaged housing. So a nonsense phrase as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some I haven't listened to in a few years so it's definitely nice to revisit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
