Great Pressing - It sounds good - better than my german pressing.

A must have in my 80's selection. Beautiful and quality repress. Not to be missed.

Wow - couldn't disagree more with the ratings below - my copy sounds phenomenal. Fills the room with great bass and clear highs. Much better than the UK pressing, which is pretty damn blown out. Can't compare with the US pressing yet - hopefully can compare soon.

ABC really represents that transition between the 70's and the 80's. Great album.

Please note this CD is NOT remastered as stated. If you want a Japanese CD remastered copy of The Lexicon of Love you will have to opt for the mini LP version.

Really dynamic recording. Quite a different experience listening on a decent system compared with ear buds!

Somebody tell me where the disco track is on that album?

Incredible Album

Everything that made the 80s great, makes for a beautiful album on vinyl.

So many sold you can find them everywhere cheap, no reason for everyone not to have one in their collection, i bet you could easily demo speakers and systems with this one.

Matrix/Runout is a little different in a copy I have:

Matrix / Runout (Side A, Etched): A-B-1 ⟷ SRM 1 4059 AS HRM
Matrix / Runout (Side B, Etched): A-2 ⟷ SRM 1 4059 BS HRM
Matrix / Runout (Stamped Both Sides): STERLING

There are both alternate/12" mixes of "The look of Love" that were released in the USA & UK, and none are represented on this deluxe edition cd.

What gives?
