[FUNKYGS1213]

なんでこれが売れなかった！！すばらしすぎる



[ChunkyChest]

Yo I proxied out of country just to see this again!

[brandonedge]

lucille must've been one hell of a woman

[marginallymental]

I'd forgotten what perfection that chorus is--just blindingly, ear-candy sweet.  Just transporting.

[mikeydread62]

Oh, the '80s. Swoon, indeed.

[franjulientikaa]

SUBLIME!!!

[Solrac20092009]

Sin palabras de lo mejor de los 80`s

[Solrac20092009]

Sin palabras de lo mejor de los 80`s

[modfather1965]

Two Wheels Good was far and away this band's best work. Each song on the LP is memorable. Great stuff--a hip Steely Dan for the early 80's.

[SiriosIX]

An all-time classic. I love Prefab Sprout. So original. So absolutely brilliant.

[marbie67]

Love it ....love it!! We don't have bands like this anymore!!

[berlinmitte10117]

And they put a Michael Buble ad. below this song - have they no shame?

[marco320d]

What a song!

[eloisealice]

I just Love this album!

[stanpnepa]

This LP was a gift - Christmas 1985. I had just turned 18. While I knew a few tracks from my college radio station - I heard the album all the way through for the first time that night. After a day with family, it was nice to escape to my room for an hour and give it a spin. Combined with the warmth of the holiday and loved ones a few rooms away it was a listening experience that I'll always remember. It's also one of the few 80's pop albums I go back too. Wonderful!

[marginallymental]

@stanpnepa, what a great memory! Mine's similar---I was back in England visiting friends and ended up in their sitting room, gas fire roaring against the cold, spinning this vinyl over and over again. I loved Langley Park, too. Paddy MacAloon had this quirky writing talent---it sounded just like candy pop at first, but you found yourself sucked in, remembering riffs thirty years later and hunting them down on youtube! 

[mcbob1955]

The 80's was a decade of much outstanding pop music. It's great to be able to go back to that time and see and hear them all here. And, for me, to discover a whole bunch of them I never heard or new about back then - like these guys.

[mafketays]

Embarassed to admit that I somehow missed this in the 80's (though I was very much into alternative stuff then).

Only recently discovered how good this band was/is and wonder how they slipped under my radar.

And this didn't make number 1 because it didn't suck (sucking was almost a prereq back then).

[afaguila]

@mafketays THE GOOD THING IS THAT YOU FINALLY GET THEM IS A GREAT BAND.

[TheAmbitiousOutsider]

S. Mc Queen is an album very important to me...

[mirzamarco]

What's the name of the piano player? I think he wasn't an official band-member although he can be seen playing keyboards with PS on several live videos.

[Tableyguy]

just gorgeous - the perfect song

[sproutyDP]

"Greatest songwriter on the planet " !!

[markymark4565]

Life's not complete

Till your heart skips a...

Beat

[orangemr2]

got this album in HS still have it

[volaminelcuore]

Ogni tanto ritorna, mi dilania e mi distrugge come a quel primo lontano ascolto...di 25 anni addietro...

[pantuflah]

dopo 20 anni ho ritrovato questa canzone, mi viene da piangere dalla felicità...quante notti ad ascoltarla pensando alla mia vita ed ora è un bellisssimo ricordo!!!!!! grazie ad internet sto rimettendo insiieme i pezzi della mia vita!!!

[oliasdoug]

Yet another of the great, overlooked GENIUS bands of the 80s...alternative pop music with intelligence. This song is a.k.a. "Goodbye Lucille #1." Paddy McAloon: one of the great voices of the 80s, too.

[dagostinoification]

mr paddy mcalloun est un génie de la composition musicale et de l'arrangement!didier d'agostino batteur (voir myspace et youtube)

[ShiNoe84]

so much nostalgia .... !!

[filmnoir67]

Can anyone tell me what Black and White movie the clips are from.

[kebritchie]

@filmnoir67 I think the film clips may be from a film from the early 1960's called A KIND OF LOVING.

[jonnienimmo]

brings back memories this one !

[inkwarp]

i can hardly bare the vocals ... make me weep ... in a good way ... but christ what a stone cold genius

[LIVIKIA]

tears

the best ever song

a huge group

a huge album

so fragaile and painfull and sweet

kids of today- what do they know

[Abarthcar33]

Hello, would like to say that this is a top record. Very well written. A great voice, top 80s tune. If only music of today was still this great!!! A band that can play, their own music and therir own songs too!!!. Top draw end of story!!!!!! Thanx!!!...............

[mauriciogherrera]

They are unforgettable!

I found this gem in long play, a local compilation of British music recorded in Costa Rica

[123christop]

One of their best songs and they have s lot of them. The Steve McQueen album,which this track came from was a classic!!

[ghicaccatta]

meravigliosa...

[Scarecrow901]

lifes not complete til your hearts missed a beat and you'll never make it up or turn back the clock, no you won't

[sproutyDP]

The KING of Rock & Roll completely

[elaugustito]

godd bye lucille... number one

[sainglain]

Brilliant everything

[yaze6972]

Hello,magnificent and wonderful song and unforgettable band,thanks,bye.

[FrankietheVillan1]

Poetic, beautiful sound and harmonies - so evocative. Takes me back to the best of the 80's: Annie Nightingale's Sunday radio show, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Human League's Dare, Heaven 17, The Chameleons (from Manchester) etc. Good old days.

[berlinmitte10117]

Annie Nightingale on Sundays - wow I had forgotten. That was a fab time! Thanks for reminding me!!

[kylienachani]

@berlinmitte10117

Look at my comments for This is the Shirt by Two people. Another excellent tune by an excellent band that Annie used play.

[jebuschristsuperstar]

do you know what film that clip is from?that fella is beautiful he is probably old or dead but ah well

[micksharp]

It's Alan Bates brilliant actor, died 2003. I think the film is 'A Kind of Loving' from 1962.

[hughwrang]

@micksharp well done, human imdb :-)

[berlinmitte10117]

Wow - hadn't heard this since it was a hit way back when. Superb!

[sergiodangelo]

Great!

[frankkumon]

life's not complete 'till your heart's missed a beat

[CHRISTIANS1977]

excelente, Gracias por compartir esto !! Te mando un saludo grande desde Argentina Buenos aires!

[JaiBlueCave2]

Loco, juntemos firmas para que editen Let's change the world with music en Argentina!

[howmanock]

"You're still in love with Hayley Mills" ......Paddy McAloon is one of the best songwriters this island has ever produced.

[mazjos1]

where are you , john loftus, of the rendevous casino, park lane . this song is and always was , for you.

[walrus502353]

Paddy McAloon what a poet

this album is simply glorious as is this song

[tuppentupfiend]

Great stuff. Love how they skip a beat when Paddy sings "your heart's missed a beat." Lots of subtle bits in this song. Powerful tune!

[LordNerevarIndoril]

johnny johnny and when the angels = masterpiece

[cheevers4ever]

For me this is the best thing on Steve Mcquenn and thats saying something.

how was this song not a number 1?

[Jim7711154]

@cheevers4ever

Because "number 1" is meaningless. it's just sales, sometimes the public makes a great song number one, "Fairytale of new york" for example, mostly crap is number one.

[TPEKHH]

not cry! something better - what's the recipe - listening ear seems to know, otherwise not a clue! Any answers?

[TPEKHH]

the shock makes me want to cry eevrytime! interlude makes no difference. god what a brlliant song

[sproutyDP]

WHY OH WHY is Talking Scarlet STILL  not on You Tube ? It's the Sprouts best song

[StonefieldJim4]

It is now.

[abcmatrix]

avete visto do you view the serious music? hot bad

[pcrofts27]

If you like Prefab Sprout, try searching DEAD LIKE HARRY - SATELLITE for a new band you might like.

[EliAlEim]

ok we'lll search it but please dont tell us no more on any prefab's clip if its possible

[tomelty]

Kudo's to June Ritchie for standing in for Hayley Mills.

[skyblue1512]

On of the great tracks from the album Steve McQueen .The first 5 songs are classics .if you have not heard it go and get it

[sproutyDP]

The first five songs are classics and then we get Hallelujah ,Moving The River and Desire As , AND When The Angels . Masterpiece.

[aarlevanbram]

This reminds me of the eighties... Yeah but it is stlll a great song. The years have past since then. Fifteen years and now fourty years. Still a child but also grown up. Fiction Factory so to say. Stay alive!

[TheCorkblackcat]

ya it brings me straight back to 80,s and memories of then and playing that tape in my fathers vw beetle.

[PC4TW]

Yhéééé thank you very much , it's a very good select

10/10

[MsClarabelle]

My all-time favourite band. Can't understand why they didn't achieve superstar status - the lyrics, music and Paddy's voice are out of this world!!!

[rick182z]

maybe it had something to do with the bloke in the frock

[ebalona]

De longe mas mesmo de muito longe, este é o verddadeiro e unico album dos Prefab Sprout. 5 estrelas!!!!

Intemporal, magnifico, Tem tanto a ver com eles e nada com ninguem que me faz lembrar Sade Adu, pois soa me a qualidade de 1ª águae inimaginavel ver ou ouvir outra pessoa a interpretar estes temas.

AND YOU NEVER MAKE IT UP. OR TURN BACK THE CLOCK. NO YOU WONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheCorkblackcat]

it always\reminds me of the 80,s. could never understand why more people werent in to this fantastic band and paddy mcaloon.

[pazzensutra]

I think it's sick that this (and other songs from Steve McQueen/Two Wheels) WEREN'T on the radio, instead of all that other tuneless top forty crap of the day. It's not too often that I hear music that really stirs my soul, and Two Wheels Good is one of those rare albums that did, and still does, too. "Swoon" is also fantastic.

[buozzi49]

Who's the actor of the movie?!!!

[StonefieldJim4]

Alan Bates, in 'A Kind of Loving'.

[centellas07]

¡Qué hermoso!!!, siempre guardé esta canción en mi memoria y en mi corazón!!!! y esta es la primera vez, después de 23 años, que puedo conocer el video!!!!...... ¡preciosa canción!!!!......

[Alepotter1987]

SImplemente una banda genial

[pedropovich]

Classic !!!

That voice...!!!!!!!!!!

[jvmacias]

Prefab Sprout ,an underrated band, most of their songs must have been great hits

[pazzensutra]

I was dumped once in 1985, I was very broken hearted. Then I discovered PF and this song. You can imagine the impact! Especially the part about "why don't you join the foreign legion"! This album is fantastic. I always thought they should have done more with Thomas Dolby. (BYW, I got me a wife now who beats the crap out of the one who dumped me.)

[sieteocho]

You should try to restrain your wife.

[sastal]

This and "WLBD" are the most beautifully depressing songs...

[walrus502353]

paddy mccaloon is symply a genius....

got introduced to this album at 12 ....

my fav of all time "STEVE McQUEEN " is so underrated

[kheira3]

me too!

[fritshits65]

'..life`s not complete ... ` till your heart has missed a beat ..." .........

well, Prefab Sprout has made my heart miss MANY beats .......... for over 20 years already > LOVE THEM FOR IT!!!

[jonnyhotdog]

perfection

[mrmarillionelo]

The outstanding best pop group from mid 80´s.

Steve McQUEEN (Two Wheels Good in US) is a 100% perfect masterpiece!

[wildhorsesPT]

[wildhorsesPT]

[khueg1]

This album is one of the greatest from any decade and missed by so many. After twenty years it's still as fresh and relevant.

[pactis11]

yes, I agree!

[uclrichard]

@mrmarillionelo one of them - but don't forget the smiths, the fall or rem....

[afaguila]

@mrmarillionelo I'M TOTAL AGREE

[wildhorsesPT]

[MarkMargo]

[mreddie501]

Get Steve McQueen out and get the headphones on .......turn it to the max!!! Still makes my hair stand on end after all these years. Just a masterpiece.

[uclrichard]

[roylikesitlikethat]

[dm48120]

[Davemonzon]

Incredible how this band produced so a great album...too bad their other albums were not good as this one ("

[alessandraoli]

Não me canso de escutar a mesma música....essa banda é MARA

[tallpaddy]

wow--this brings it all back--I luv this song as much as when luv breaks down--I was lucky to see them live once--a great band

[frenchjipouille]

Can't spend a day without listening Prefab. Always the same plasur for 25 years. Big influence on my live. Thanks Paddy....

[sproutyDP]

One of the finest songs i,ve heard if not THE finest.

[toddbulky]

A whole section of my life summed up in a pop song. Not possible to better it.

[theflatearth]

Sublime

[denpunk666mitsos]

[barakpick]

[nikoli1970]

[MagicFreddie]

these guys had a good song. i like listenin to them at the end of a shit day. makes me feel better

[somme1915]

THE GREAT FORGOTTEN PREFAB SROUT

[jopperpt]

One of the gratest bands ever! With lack of recognition.

[cardensdriving]

I think it may be Alan Bates and Hayley Mills. Check out a film called wild is the wind. Hayley Mills is in it, it's about some kids who find a murderer hiding in a barn...yhey think he is Jesus. It's a classic

[riva1958]

it's from A KIND OF LOVING

[palacista]

This is really called Goodbye Lucille,

but as good as rhis track is it mainly reminds me of Johnny Salad.

[shishei]

Que de souvenirs avec ce magnifique titre!on en a eu de bons groupes à cette période...

[funbuggycaribe]

this is music where are this days good artists????

[elciojunior1]

Voltem!!! salvem a música Prefab!!

[koggi]

oh my god...!!!! johnny johnny woo!!!!! one of my favorite saddest songs ever... still playing it every time my heart lose a beat.

[DANIEL6981]

puedes escuchar esta canción mil veces y jamas te cansa......

[bandypaul]

prefab forever....this song is emotional..used to sing it a lot and rip my throat on the "no.you wont part"...prefab foooorever.

[dazsam15]

Fook me his voice in this, i forgot what legends these are. Heard when love breaks down on smooth fm. decided to you tube it and all these goodies just came out. magic

[RAY0112006]

love this song!

[excalibog]

oh yeah you have this awesome song, thank you so much for posting

[nails64]

if you are a child of the eighties, you know prefab sprout rules

[808LIMA]

La canción una belleza, imposible no ponerse triste, imposible olvidar esos inviernos de los 80s. Mientras aquí en mi país, Perú, se mataban con la música salsa, Yo apreciaba a los Prefab, que suerte la mía.

[moisesmateus]

Conheci prefab 10 anos atrás somente..aqui no brasil (é maravilhoso)....parabens por seu bom gosto! (compreendes portugues??)

[sdremenke]

....why are you 21???

[maharsitiju]

Sublime

[4vele]

Whenever I hear the song I feel kidnapped in ancient world

[Davemonzon]

Thank you for these words...that's the way I feel when I listen to songs of the 80's.

Thank you again and...please, check my favourites videos...

[marijaia]

Esta canción me emociona y me hace llorar.. que triste el desamor..

[dasboot007]

ohhh prefab cuantos sueños en tus canciones encuentro ...

[4vele]

Grande, fantastico. Un tuffo nelle belle emozioni.

[godisatan]

He looks just like Richie Cunningham at 2:10 seconds hehe

[DANIEL6981]

imbecil....si no puedes apreciar la musica no pongas comentarios cojudos

[godisatan]

No understandio!

[TPEKHH]

gorgeous gorgeous bloody bastard song

[Davemonzon]

very good song. Much better than the today's songs...

[BradenJ]

this guys lyrics astound me there are so insightful and powerful, a true poet!

[JaiBlueCave2]

I first listened to this song circa 1987. Many years went by since then until I've been able to listen to it again thanks to YouTube. Now I can do it time and time again! It's a simple song yet it's got something special, its bass line helped me create a couple of songs of mine. Can somebody kindly tell me what film those scenes were taken from?

JaiBlueCave2 from Argentina

[yort2012]

it was 20 years ago this fall when i first heard this song. takes me back to that season of discovery, of cars, girls & "Steve McQueen."

[kevinl69]

the hayley mills ref makes sense

alan bates played the christ/fugitive in whistle down he wind
