I’m not sharing any official videos from the album, as I never saw them back then and am not sure they wouldn’t detract. Here are a couple of tasty morsels of the album.

Thanks for reading. If you dig it, please share it.

Nice, Jep! I, too, was in on ABC from this album (and thru their '80s releases), but I had a good 15 years on ya! I found Martin Fry to be enough of a non-offensively Bowie-sounding "clone" to help carry me over the Bowie (whom I loved) dance-fest, "Let's Dance" (which I didn't) released just a few months later!

It's interesting to me, that thru the foggy web of time, ABC and Spandau Ballet have kind of morphed into a blob of '80s Brit dance-pop that I adored at the time. I'm not for a second proposing they ever sounded alike, but I do have to go back to remind myself which particular song (that I know must've been ONE of them) was which band's! I'm sure that's just me! Again, well done, and thanks for the memories!
