Sorry to anyone who's emailed me in the last week - I've been away, and returned to thirty emails about the Sprouts!

Until then, one news item in particular leaps out - play.com have updated their listing for the new album, including a front cover and official tracklist! Have a look here, or download a large version here, thanks to Faye at Sony Music.

A couple more old video gems have surfaced on YouTube lately, including an interview with Paddy on 'Pebble Mill,' about 'Hey Manhattan!' and the band performing 'King of Rock N Roll' on Terry Wogan's show.

Thanks to rock smith for finding these, and the mysterious individual who sourced and uploaded them. And if any of you see anything interesting (and sprout-related), be sure to let me know!

Thanks to Douglas Stewart, Lee Redfern, and Robert Wilson, all of whom reported details of an email from Kitchenware that is going round. And if you're not on their list, here's what it said:

We are pleased to announce that the new Prefab Sprout album, 'Let's Change The World With Music' will be released on 7th September. We'll be issuing a Press Release soon which will talk about the long awaited record.

And as you might expect, the press release will be uploaded here as soon as I get my hands on it. Various forum members have also observed Neil McCormick, a music critic from the Daily Telegraph, posting on twitter about an interview with Paddy:

What a nice man Paddy turns out to be. But there is no Prefab reunion, just the release of a lost masterpiece by one of pop's great recluses.

Another video update, but quite an interesting one this time. Sent in by Ian Cook, it is footage from the Sprouts' appearance on kids' TV show 'Going Live' in 1991, with a performance of 'Carnival 2000,' and a whole-band interview with Philip Schofield, including a phone-in session with the public. Totally umissable!

Another old video has appeared on YouTube, the Sprouts performing 'Appetite' in Sanremo, 1986. You can see it here, thanks to rock smith for bringing this to my attention.
