Nige Tassell Publishes Truly Gifted Kids on Prefab Sprout
Author Nige Tassell has published Truly Gifted Kids, a book about Prefab Sprout, after driving across Britain while listening to the band's albums.
Author Nige Tassell drove across Britain listening to Prefab Sprout's albums from start to finish while finishing his new book about the band, Truly Gifted Kids. The book is out now, published by New Modern.
Prefab Sprout had released ten studio albums under their name, from 1984's Swoon to Crimson/Red from almost thirty years later. Tassell listened to the albums arranged in the order they were recorded, not the order they were released.
Protest Songs, released in 1989, was recorded four years earlier. Let's Change The World With Music was a 1992 demo that eventually came out a full 17 years later.
Prefab Sprout did not play live during most of their years of high success and last performed on stage at London's Fleadh in 2000.
