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!
