ABC - The Lexicon Of Love

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON MERCURY 1982

Mercury 6359 099 made in England with text inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

ABC's debut album combined the talents of the Sheffield, U.K.-based band, particularly lead singer Martin Fry, a fashion plate of a frontman with a Bryan Ferry fixation, and the inventive production style of former Buggles member Trevor Horn and his team of musicians, several of whom would go on to form the Art of Noise. Horn created dense tracks that merged synthesizer sounds, prominent beats, and swaths of strings and horns, their orchestrations courtesy of Anne Dudley, who would follow her work with the Art of Noise by becoming a prominent film composer, and who here underscored Fry's stylized romantic lyrics and dramatic, if affected, singing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_%28band%29
