    Truly wonderful album with some of Paddy's best songs. Sad that some critics thought that it was a pastiche or somehow ironic. The "western" theme is just another lens for the incredible songwriting and provides some dramatic distance to the emotions of the songs. It's too bad this album isn't more widely available but I'm very glad to have gotten my hands on a CD copy.

      It is unbearable that this incredible recording does not exist on vinyl.

        Still waiting for a vinyl reissue. It deserves it widely.

          How come this hasn't been issued on vinyl? It's the only gap in the entire Prefab Sprout catalogue.
