PREFAB SPROUT — FROM LANGLEY PARK TO MEMPHIS『 1988・FULL ALBUM 』 is the third studio album by the English pop group PS.

It was released on March 14, 1988.

It reached number 5 on the UK Albums Chart, the highest position among their studio albums.

Recorded in Newcastle, London, and Los Angeles, it has a more polished and commercial sound compared to their previous productions and features several guest stars including Stevie Wonder on "Nightingales" and Pete Townshend on "Hey Manhattan!".

Frontman Paddy McAloon wanted it to be an album with simpler, more universal songs that are less cerebral than their previous work "Steve McQueen" from '85, stating, "I realized that a good simple song is better than a complicated half-success" and nothing...

Chentelles - be my queen

THE CHILDREN OF DARKNESS - SHE'S MINE

It’s the thrill of a moment, maybe two. That’s why it works especially well for a 45 RPM, often with distorted titles and names on the masters and labels of the vinyl. Further confirming a shoddiness that ruled all phases of the process. For many others, it won’t work at all, getting stuck in the limited space and finances of a demo tape, a reel, a cassette.”

Merci, Reverendo (20)

(from the comments in the review of 'Flood', which is from January 1990, so just a little over a month cannot be included in this series - ed)

'They are the best (by a wide margin…) mutant pop of the late eighties-early nineties, at least until "Apollo 18." Unless you can find someone else capable of blending in the same Hollywood musical minipimer and polka, cartoon songs and college rock, art wave and world music, Van Dyke Parks and Andy Partridge, Zappa and the Cars, the 3-Mustaphas-3 and the Monochrome Set. From this album, "Minimum wage" - a perfect theme for a low-budget American TV series from the late sixties - and "Letterbox" - the Beatles and Todd Rundgren in kindergarten taking lessons from Jonathan Richman - make you think about how wonderfully ineffable that little three-letter palindrome is. Ah, 4.5 for "Flood," solely because the 5 is reserved for the eponymous first album and "Lincoln." There were ready-made tracks there like "Ana Ng" and "She's a Hotel Detective." But if you want to get to know them, starting from this is just fine' (self-citation.)

What can I say? That ten years later, I still damn well agree with that distant version of myself.
PS: among those tracks that rewrite the melting pot of pop, add pieces like this one posted and the insane Bontempi organ pastiche that collides Zappa-style with the theme of Perry Mason from 'Where Your Eyes Don't Go.' But citing just a few does a disservice to all the others.
