Prefab Sprout

Supported by the unanimous appreciation of critics and a legion of fans throughout the world, Paddy McAloon, at the helm of his Prefab Sprouts, is one of the greatest cult figures of pop. He has been compared to songwriters like Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter or Jimmy Webb. Like them, like all geniuses, he is the creator of a universe of melodies, arrangements and sensations embodied in pluperfect pop songs and albums. Classic and timeless at the same time. Imperishable. This book, the first to be published on Prefab Sprout (or Paddy McAloon, so much so) in Spanish, addresses his career from different points of view -the origins, the influences, his legacy-, sharpens the singularities that have made his work something Special and totally non-transferable, it examines his complete discography and lists his fifty best songs. It also has two interviews with Paddy McAloon himself: one of them exclusive for this volume. Almost two hours of conversation with one of the most talented and unique musicians on the planet.
