Prefab Sprout - Protest Songs

Protest Songs was recorded by Prefab Sprout in 1985 in the wake of the masterful Steve McQueen / Two Wheels Good, but shelved in favor of the subsequent From Langley Park to Memphis; it finally surfaced to little fanfare in 1989, appearing almost as mysteriously as it was abandoned four years earlier. It's a wonderful record and includes the devastatingly beautiful ballad Dublin which must surely rank as one Paddy Mcaloon's top 10 songs.
