i liked their lp they made with john leckie but i haven't many kind words for the band that they
morphed into Ginger.  they seem to be critics darlings especially in places like Q magazine but they
are not quite the same.

i love prefab sprout though and would say that the last record 'andromeda heights' is beautiful as
well, especially the gorgeous 'swans'.
i always considered the judybats to be the american version of prefab sprout, sadly they were
completely ignored and died after four fabulous records.

thinking it would be lovely if paddy mcaloon actually released the christmas record he always
threatens people with.
