So particularly big around the 1982 period, in terms of both singles sales in the UK, and in terms of the highly praised Lexicon of Love album, a UK charttopper that seemed to define that summer of 1982 for many people. It was also a top three album in Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland.



And that album eventually earned a gold record from the RIAA in 1995:

Blackcat liked using wikipaedia entries a lot for these artists, here is the one for this classic eighties pop band:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_(band)



And he liked youtube clips to illustrate his points.



Well, here's one of their best records:

The Look Of Love, by ABC.



Blackcat did owe you this thread, automatic, I hope that you appreciate the work done here.



And.............what a great band ABC were.

Yes, they certainly were! The first album is a classic from track to track, the others have their strong moments too (though I feel they're more patchy), and I particularly fond of their "Skyscraping" CD - it's on par with "The Lexicon of Love" for me, fantastic sound and great songs!

OK, so I guess I have to present their "around the world" chart statistics - and I certainly will very soon! :)
