Biography:
Prefab Sprout are an English pop band from Witton Gilbert, County Durham formed in 1976, who rose to fame during the 1980s. Though critically acclaimed, and considered by many to have released some of the best pop albums of the decade, the band never matched this acclaim with commercial success. The band's best known lineup comprised Paddy McAloon (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Wendy Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Martin McAloon (bass), and Neil Conti (drums).

Prefab Sprout
Desire As (1985)
(Paddy McAloon)
From: "Steve McQueen"
I find it hard to play this alone on one guitar and still preserve the
textures of the original. It probably wasn’t meant to be played like that,
either. It’s still very beautiful and what is here might give you some idea
to work out your own version.
The tuning of the original recording is somewhere in between things.
