Let's Change the World with Music - finally released in the USA

Good news for U.S. Sprout fans,'Let's Change The World With Music' gets an official release by the Tompkins Square Label on October 26th,2010. Below is the press release:

Paddy McAloon, the musical mastermind behind Prefab Sprout, is one of those artistic-genius types who operates on his own unpredictable timetable, motivated more by the mysterious ways of the muse than any kind of marketing plan. Not only has it been seven years since he released his last album of new material, I Trawl The Megahertz, but his latest U.S. release took 17 years to make it from McAloon’s hands to the ears of the American public.

The maverick British pop legend completed Let’s Change The World With Music, the intended follow-up to Prefab Sprout’s classic 1990 album Jordan: The Comeback, in 1993. Due to a confusing combination of factors, including miscommunication with his label and his own idiosyncratic working methods, McAloon wound up leaving the record on the shelf, unreleased, until it was unveiled at last in the U.K. in 2009. And now, thanks to the efforts of enterprising American indie label Tompkins Square Records, Let’s Change The World With Music will finally have an official American release on October 26th — better late than never, no? While there are elements of the album that sound like they are distinctly of their era, McAloon’s timeless pop mastery remains in effect on these tracks, not only filling a long-vacant spot in the Prefab Sprout discography, but adding significantly to McAloon’s legacy.
