      When Smokey Sings (The Miami Mix) is 7:06 everywhere else. Is this some kind of edit? Why? This album is only 75 minutes long

        This actually did not receive a US vinyl release? Weird...

          This realease (1193857) and entry 1040392 (Europe) are exactly the same; same barcode, both made in FRG. Actually, this UK entry should be subsumed into the Europe entry.

            A history of ABC from 1981-89 with a 16 page booklet. Producers include: Trevor Horn, Steve Brown, ABC, Mark White, Martin Fry. 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 tracks 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 under appreciated 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.
