Could Ian Harrison please reveal his source? Who is Danny Ecclestone?

Yes, he probably could, and he probably won't. As to well known music journalist, Ecclestone, he's the former editor of Q magazine. It's no hoax. I'm guessing this news has found its way to both the former and the latter on good authority. On the other hand, I'll assume it's premature. After all, 'that photo' didn't get us very far, did it?

I am IAN

Awwwwright! *The* Ian Harrison!

Totally cracked me up.

Jim, thanks for enlightening me re: Eccleston. Still, although all the paraphenalia of legitimacy are there, this "news"-item has the ring of half-truth, at best.

And if it's all really pretty much true, then I hope this doesn't, uhm, jinx it? Pretty superstitious of me. Sorry, I dare not hope.

Yep:

If it is indeed released, we'll be talking about the 'new' Prefab Sprout album being nearly 15 years old. He's a fast worker, that Paddy.

I'd certainly be chuffed if it is what it seems to be: a Dolby tweaked version of that infamous demo. -------------------- *The stretched twig of peace is at melting point.*

Chanting words of delight and curses on the see saw of the rumors of ups and downs. Traveling on high speed monorails into the past cobwebs of Prefab Sprout to the high flying glide of the words and music. Through distress and gloom we still hung tight. This news is delightful, joyful, exhilarating to the point that I give you all high fives, even the spamers. PADDY IS COMING BACK !!!!!!!!!!! -------------------- Out of touch ? No, in command
