ABC is chic, ABC is smart, ABC is style, and ABC created music which is just perfect pop.
The career of this band started in 1980, and they claimed that 'they wanted to do with Funk what The Police did to Reggae'. Admittedly, ABC werenīt as radical as The Police, but what they did to Funk was definetly good, adding electronics and Soul. From the moment ABC released their first single, they became a part of every dancehall backcatalogue in Europe and the US through the 80s.
This compilation gathers most of their 80s 12"-releases from the A- and B-sides on a total length of 78.50 minutes - thatīs really value for money. Though the rather 'bootleg' appearance and the sometimes only average sound quality, this seems to be an official album (maybe from a subdivision of Phonogram UK).
Some German retailers sold this album as low-price, and if you can get a copy (no matter the price), itīs a good occasion to stock up your 12" backcatalogue.
