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![;)]

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?

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".
