ABC'S LEXICON OF LOVE 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE TREMENDOUSLY RARE LIMITED EDITION LP

Description: ABC'S LEXICON OF LOVE 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LIMITED EDITION LP - TREMENDOUSLY RARE OUT OF PRINT EDITION AND OUR LAST COPY FOREVER.ABC's debut album, coming out in 1982 among a flurry of post-disco/Brit new wave acts, linked ABC with bands like Spandau Ballet, Human League, Culture Club, Kajagoogoo, Gary Numan, Scritti Politti and Howard Jones.ABC's debut album combined the talents of the Sheffield, U.K.-based band, particularly lead singer Martin Fry, a fashion plate of a frontman with a Bryan Ferry fixation, and the inventive production style of former Buggles member Trevor Horn and his team of musicians, several of whom would go on to form the Art of Noise. Horn created dense tracks that merged synthesizer sounds, prominent beats, and swaths of strings and horns, their orchestrations courtesy of Anne Dudley, who would follow her work with the Art of Noise by becoming a prominent film composer, and who here underscored Fry's stylized romantic lyrics and dramatic, if affected, singing. The production style was dense and noisy, writes AllMusic, but frequently beautiful, and the group's emotional songs gave it a depth and coherence later Horn works, such as those of Yes ("Owner of a Lonely Heart") and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, would lack.Fry and company used the sound to create moving dancefloor epics like "Many Happy Returns," which, like most of the album's tracks, deserved to be a hit single. (In the U.K., four were: "Tears Are Not Enough," "Poison Arrow," "The Look of Love," and "All of My Heart," the last three making the Top Ten; in the U.S., "The Look of Love" and "Poison Arrow" charted Top 40.)Side 1Show MePoison ArrowMany Happy ReturnsTears Are Not EnoughValentine’s DaySide 2The Look of Love, Pt. 1Date StampAll of My Heart4 Ever 2 GetherThe Look of Love, Pt. 4 Mymusicfix has been told we have the best collection of Rare, Out of Print music collectibles on E-Bay.
