ABC - The Lexicon Of Love

I remember being 15 and thinking how fucking cool Martin Fry was singing Tears Are Not Enough on the telly in his sparkly jacket.

ABC made a white pop version of the brit-funk of Beggar & Co, Hi-Tension and Light Of The World, which was popular at the time, and did a decent job.

Would never have bought it at the time, though. According to the sticker on the label I paid a very reasonable 99 pence for this from an Oxfam chazza, long after the jacket-sequins had dropped off and passed through the Hoover bag of time to the municipal tip of pop history.

Trevor Horn engineered this album, so it's right at the cutting edge of technology for the day. The only time it gets a bit dreary is when it's at its most Trevor Horn-y.
