John Birch's Collection

John Birch literally wrote the book on the Sprouts - it was called 'Myths, Melodies & Metaphysics.' As such, his collection of sprout pictures is as big as it is interesting, and was passed on to me by that king among men, Jim WIlliams.  Now it's here for your perusal:

On this page my plan is simple: fill it with pictures.  But that's not as easy as it sounds - being a bit publicity shy, Paddy is never one to strike a pose, so actual pictures of Prefab Sprout are hard to come by.  If you've got one I could use, or perhaps you've drawn some Sprout-related art, by all means send it in!  Oh, and to see a bigger version of the picture, just click it.

Promotional Photos

These are promotional photos issued by the record labels over the years.  I got these off Bedford's site, where it says you can't use them for commercial purposes.  So make sure you don't.

From the Booklets

All these are probably copyright of someone or the other, so don't use these for commercial purposes either.

Jordan: The Comeback

Andromeda Heights

Live In Munich - 2nd December 1985

These stills were captured fom the bootleg DVD that is floating about, by Jim Williams.  However, the videos are all now available on the media page, so head over there!

Golden Calf Video Shoot

As you might expect, these are pictures taken from the shooting of the 'Golden Calf' video.  You can see a double exposure from this set here, and the finished video here.

Sketches

These very nice sketches of the band were drawn by a man called Wayne Brierley.  Check out some more of his stuff on this page.

From The Internet

From time to time, I like to have a root around the bargain bin that is google image search.  You never know what you might find!  But to save you the hassle, I've stuck what I found on here.  Thanks to Lora Marsden, who found and sent in at least a dozen of these.

Live In Belgium - 31st May 1984

All of these are the copyright of Philippe Carly of www.newwavephotos.com, but he has kindly given me permission to host 30.8% of the set - 0.8% more than he usually allows!  The entire set of 26 can be viewed here.
