Sprout, Sprout, knock yourself out

Prefab Sprout knocking it out of the park with this live version of When Love Breaks Down from Whistle Test in 1985. Doesn't get better than this.

Hirsute you, sir!

My goodness but that Paddy McAloon's looking different these days, eh? I think I can safely say that I would never have recognised him in that photo above, had I not been furnished with the info beforehand. He really reminds me of someone else with that beard, anyway, but I just cannot put my finger on who for the moment. Any suggestions?

By the way, anyone heard the new Prefab Sprout album yet? And if so, is it much cop?
