I honestly can't recall a more succinct, on-the-nail summation of Paddy's craft than that by Kim Wilde in The Quietus.

The new book is a collection of 54 mini-chapters/essays about various aspects of the Sprouts and their music (and sometimes beyond; there's one about ex-England captain Bryan Robson). Plus a few typically Tassell quests, including tracking down the most famous motorbike in pop.

I’ve just started a Substack called Café Blah: a place to talk / argue about great 1980s albums that never quite got their due. This piece sets up the series which will launch next week with The Style Council’s Cafê Bleu. @paulwellerHQ @MRCOOLSDREAM open.substack.com/pub/neal19…
