I fell in love with Paddy - like literally - after I heard ‘From Langley Park To Memphis’ in ‘88 and when I joined the music world, had the opportunity to interview him when ‘Looking For Atlantis’ was released in 1990. Of course, the publicist in New York told him I was a fan girl - totally embarrassing tho she was a good aquaintance at the time. She arranged a phone interview and amongst the topics we spoke about, Paddy revealed he had just dyed his hair blonde - and hadn’t told his mother yet! I felt privileged to say the least 😆 And still wish they had made it bigger in the US.

Great piece, Brad. Didn’t know about the vinyl release, and I just did a piece about Prefab for my substack a month ago! Another one of my favorite albums from 1985 from a rarefied band along with Prefab and Scritti was “Flaunt the Imperfection” by China Crisis. Are you a fan of that as well?
