An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Protest Songs is the fourth studio album by English pop band Prefab Sprout. Recorded quickly and self-produced, the album features a minimal production style at odds with most of the band's work. Originally planned to be released in December 1985 as a quickfire follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed second album Steve McQueen, it was put on hold for commercial reasons and the band moved on to record 1988's From Langley Park to Memphis. The album was finally released by Kitchenware Records and CBS on 19 June 1989. Despite the band undertaking no promotional activities, the album peaked at number 18 on the UK Albums Chart.

  • 『 プロテスト・ソングス (原題: Protest Songs) 』は1989年6月に Kitchenware Records から発売された プリファブ・スプラウト の4th アルバム。1985年にレコーディングされていたアルバムだが未発表になっていて、実質的には3rd アルバムとなる。発売がアルバム1枚分先送りされた理由はシングル「 The King of Rock 'N' Roll 」の思わぬヒットから、プロモーションを考えた際にアルバム『 ラングレー・パークからの挨拶状 』を先に出さないと、リスナーが混乱する事を避けての判断だった。サウンド的には『 スティーヴ・マックイーン 』と『 ラングレー・パークからの挨拶状 』の丁度中間に位置する物となっている。アルバム・プロモーションはあまりされず、シングル・カットもされなかったアルバムでもある。 (ja)
