From Langley Park to Memphis is the third album by English pop band Prefab Sprout, released in March 1988. The title is taken from a lyric to the song "The Venus of the Soup Kitchen" and refers to the village of Langley Park, County Durham in England and the city of Memphis, Tennessee in the USA. "Nightingales" features the harmonica playing of Stevie Wonder, while Pete Townshend plays acoustic guitar on "Hey Manhattan!". All songs on the album are written by frontman Paddy McAloon who in turn produced many of the tracks.
