 | | prefab sprout appetite 03:53Prefab Sprout is an English pop band from Witton Gilbert, County Durham, which rose to moderate fame during the 1980s. Though critically acclaimed, and considered by many to have released some of the more...best pop albums of the decade, the band never broke through to the mainstream, and had only moderate commercial success. They debuted in 1982 with their self-released single "Lions In My Own Garden: Exit Someone" - songwriter Paddy McAloon wanted a song title where the first letters of the words spelled out "LIMOGES" (where his former girlfriend was staying at the time). Their first album was Swoon, a collection of quirky pop songs in the same vein as "Lions...", released on the Kitchenware record label in early 1984. The following year saw the release of their second album, the Thomas Dolby-produced Steve McQueen (released in the U.S. as Two Wheels Good when McQueen's estate expressed their displeasure with the title). Either way, it was so highly-praised by the critics that even the shy and retiring McAloon remarked: "I'm probably the greatest songwriter in the world, you know." Subsequently, they recorded Protest Songs which found only limited release, but yielded the song "Life of Surprises", which later became the title track for their greatest hits compilation.
Their biggest commercial UK success came with an arguably atypical track for the Sprouts, the 1988 single "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", taken from the From Langley Park to Memphis album. In 1990, Jordan: The Comeback, which was a hit in the UK, was nominated for a Brit award. Though the music was more accessible than their earlier material, the lyrics and subject matter remained characteristically oblique and suggestive (McAloon has often cited Stephen Sondheim as an influence). In addition to its religious overtones, perhaps reflecting McAloon's education in a Catholic seminary, there were several allegorical songs about a character who embodied a mix of Howard Hughes, Jesse James, and Elvis Presley. McAloon has alluded in interviews to several albums-worth of songs that he has written but are unreleased/unrecorded including amongst others, concept albums based on the life of Michael Jackson (Behind the Veil), the history of the world (Earth: The Story So Far) and Zorro the Fox about a fictional superhero.
Their greatest hits, Life of Surprises: The Best of Prefab Sprout yielded their biggest U.S. hit, "If You Don't Love Me", which spent several weeks in the top 10 on the dance charts. McAloon joked in the liner notes about the band's lack of touring over the past decade.
In 1997 Prefab Sprout released a new album 'Andromeda Heights' in the UK. A short, but well received UK tour followed in 2000. This tour (& the subsequent album) didn't feature Wendy Smith, who by this time had reportedly left the band. In 2001 the band released 'The Gunman and Other Stories' a concept album themed on the American West. The opening track 'Cowboy Dreams' was originally a success for the British actor Jimmy Nail. These albums while critically acclaimed in places, have not been as commercially successful (and only been available in the United States on import).
Their greatest hits collection, 1999's 38 Carat Collection, was released in the United States in 2001 with a new title The Collection.
After being diagnosed with a medical disorder which impaired his vision Paddy McAloon released the spoken word/instrumental album 'I Trawl The Megahertz under' his own name in 2003 on the EMI Liberty label. As of 2006, McAloon had suffered another setback: his hearing had deteriorated, reportedly due to Ménière's disease.
In January 2007, a remastered edition of Steve McQueen was announced for a UK release in April 2007 with a second disc of recently recorded acoustic versions of eight of the album's tracks to be included as well. The remastering was done by original Steve McQueen producer Thomas Dolby.

As he approaches his 43rd birthday on June 11, Manuel credits Dr. Sears and his team for saving his life despite monumental odds.
After decades of failed weight loss methods, including a botched liposuction that nearly killed him, devotion to the Zone Diet has been the only weight loss program to have such a positive impact on the Mexican man, whose weight once topped 1,200 lbs. Dr. Sears, along with two of Mexico's most prestigious physicians, Dr. Silvia Orozco Aviña and Dr. Gustavo Orozco Aviña, are at the helm of the interdisciplinary team of doctors, nutritionists and exercise physiologists who continue to work diligently to help Manuel reach his goal . . . and his birthday.
