Here is a lost 80's Britpop gem.
An atmospheric tune off the 1985 'Steve McQueen' album produced by Thomas Dolby that features airy synths and soothing vocals. Enjoy![;)]

A absolute classic from one of the best albums of the '80s Paddy Mcaloon is a songwriting god...

Bonnie and When Love Breaks Down from that same album were also chestnuts!

Btw, guys, this link is for the FULL comp album- in 1 compressed file. You'll have to extract all the 16 songs.

Prefab Sprout is an example of one of the best bands you've never heard.

I have the US version of "Steve McQueen", titled "Two Wheels Good". Some questions, maybe someone here knowsthe answers:

1. allmusic.com lists fewer tracks for "Steve McQueen" than it's US alter ego. Is this true?

2. Do the releases differ in any other way?

by **iciclevan** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 1:06 am

Yes, for once the US version is better as it includes a few B-Sides.
The only bit the UK LP has is the little "zing" at the end of "When The Angels".
