Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • A history of ABC from 1981-89 with a 16 page booklet.
  • Producers include: Trevor Horn, Steve Brown, ABC, Mark White, Martin Fry.
  • Photographers: Neil Thorpe; Paul Cox.
  • ABC's first four albums are an intriguing litany of '80s pop styles. The lush romanticism of 1982's THE LEXICON OF LOVE, the politicized Roxy Music-style rock of 1983's BEAUTY STAB, the ultra-ironic post-glam dance tricks of 1985's HOW TO BE A ZILLIONAIRE! and finally, the radio-friendly pop-soul of 1988's ALPHABET CITY, create an interesting trajectory. Throughout, singer Martin Fry and guitarist Mark White pick up and discard personas and musical references with the ease of a clotheshorse trying on new suits.
  • Which is not to discount the music, which is flawless, inventive pop that extrapolates from not only Roxy Music--the most constant comparison--but also the Beatles, Motown and David Bowie. Collecting nothing but singles--three each from the last two albums, four from LEXICON and only two from the underappreciated BEAUTY STAB--plus a new track and a handful of pleasant remixes, ABSOLUTELY ABC is not everything you'll ever need, but it's an excellent start.
