Editorial Reviews

Out of print in the U.S.! Digitally remastered and expanded two CD pressing of the UK Pop band's brilliant 1985 sophomore album (originally released in the U.S. as Two Wheels Good). with the remastering overseen by the album's original producer Thomas Dolby, the band's original musical and artistic vision remains intact in glorious modern digital sound. The bonus disc features eight acoustic versions performed by bandleader/singer/songwriter Paddy McAloon. Contains bona-fide Prefab classics like 'When Love Breaks Down', 'Appetite', 'Goodbye Lucille #1 (Johnny Johnny)' and more. Sony. 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars Defnitely One of My Five

Before going too far, let me say this about Prefab Sprout's STEVE McQUEEN: This is a desert island CD, period. I might not be able to quickly identify the other four on my list, but this one is definitely there. The edition I sought, the "Legacy Edition", only solidifies my position. If you can imagine Steely Dan with Brian Wilson & Morrissey as members, then you have an approximation of the SPROUT sound. The lyrics are another story. Think of Costello & McCartney as collaborators. This Legacy Edition includes a second disc with 8 of the songs re-done, "unplugged"-style by SPROUT lead singer/guitarist Paddy McAloon that, in some instances, outstrip the original album versions. Emotionally engaging and relentlessly intelligent, STEVE McQUEEN is about as close to perfect as pop music gets. Smartly remastered, STEVE McQUEEN (released in 1985 as TWO WHEELS GOOD in the U.S. for legal reasons) has a bevy of songs ("Bonny", "Appetite", "When Love Breaks Down") that will settle in your cranium for a long time to come. If your thing is smart pop that doubles as first-rate ear candy, then Prefab Sprout's STEVE McQUEEN is the disc for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars When love breaks down

Surely one of the best pop albums, maybe the best pop album of the 80's. There's depth here that our genexer grunge-filled ears won't let us hear at first, but give it a few plays and the genius will worm its way into your heart. "Bonny" Is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

No reason to stop here, Prefab Sprout put out a lot of great music over the years and have become one of my favorite bands. I bought the 2-disc remastered version (The original US version is called "Two Wheels Good" for some reason). Disc 2 contains some tracks rerecorded and stripped down, pretty cool for a bonus disc. This CD goes on the special shelf with my favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album of 1985. The best album of the 80s (IMHO)

I've sung Steve McQueen's praise for 35 years. Ever since some Irish lads introduced it to me in the summer of 1985. It remains my all-time favorite album. It sits just above Trust and Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello. Three albums that share some Irish pop DNA. Thomas Dolby is rightly lauded for his lush production but the acoustic version of this album proves the songs, lyrics and melodies are all Paddy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Music - Totally Underrated

I'd heard of Prefab Sprout but knew only one of their songs (When Love Breaks Down) till 2016, when I was streaming a BBC radio program in the USA and heard "Desire As," which mesmerized me. I love, love, love this album and also the acoustic versions on the second disc -- many are so different than the originals but equally stunning. Wish Paddy McAloon would tour but his health issues make that unlikely to happen...

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Wheels Good

Called Two Wheels Good in the U.S. due to an objection by the late actor’s estate and the song “Faron Young” was shortened to “Faron” for similar reasons. Written and conceived by Paddy McAloon and brilliantly produced by Thomas Dolby, this may be the most perfect pop record ever recorded. I cannot overstate the simple beauty and elegant craftsmanship of the songs on this disc. A 2008 re-release features an entire 2nd disc of acoustic versions of these same great songs re-recorded by McAloon to make it all the more essential to any collection.

well this band was not known by me, Until a random search of music shows it, but if you like tunes from tears for fears or camouflage, this guys sound pretty similar and perhaps better, somebody wrote here that this one, is on the top of his personal play list, I agree with that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best pop album of the 80's - Two Wheels 'always' good!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2023

Swoon album was ok in places, and here with the help of TD's keyboard wizardry we see the band that is the Sprout just fly! Wonderful pithy lyrics dance above melodies and hooks a plenty, Thomas Dolby brings so many swirling atmospheres and great production to all the songs armed only with a keyboard and a sly knowledge of a great pop tune. Paddy feels much more confident here, a true songsmith he knocks out one classic after another and his Bros and Wendy do a good job of keeping up. A fave album for me that once was thrown out the car window to appease my ex-wife, hilare story no one wants to hear!
