Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen/Two Good Wheels

The English pop band Prefab Sprout released their second album in 1985 entitled Steve McQueen (in the US it was released as Two Good Wheels due to legal issues with the estate of the late actor Steve McQueen). In the UK, it reached number 21 on the album charts; in the US is only got to number 178 in the Billboard Album chart. The album was produced by Thomas Dolby.

I’ve never heard this album before. I’m only familiar with one of the tracks (“When Love Breaks Down”). But, since it shows up on the 1001 Albums list I thought I’d take a chance and give it a whirl. Plus, if Dolby was involved I am sure I'll enjoy it (since I'm such a huge fan of his work). So, this will be another first-time-listening review (all based on initial impressions).
