Prefab Sprout - When Love Breaks Down

This is one of my all-time favourite songs. Prefab Sprout's wondrously beautiful, strangely different-sounding pop song "When Love Breaks Down" had to be re-released to finally chart in the UK where it eventually peaked at number 25. At its first release in 1984 it didn't chart at all, but a stubborn record company tried again when the album Steve McQueen proved a minor success.
