An audioblog documenting one guy's music collection & related obsessions.Since ABC were the subject of Bands Reunited earlier this week I give you their debut single Tears Are Not Enough. I loved this tune the first time I heard it, and promptly went out and bought the 45. It's got cool chikka chikka guitars like Chic, great horns, sharp and witty lyrics, and Martin's falsetto soars. It also features a uniquely funky harpsichord breakdown - not too many songs have those! From the LP The Lexicon Of Love, produced by Trevor Horn - one of the great albums of the early '80s.
Life's been hectic this week so there haven't been too many posts -

What an utterly under-rated band ABC were. Possibly due to their w*nker image?
Wanker image, eh? I always personally thought it was kind of fun. You're right about being under rated though.
The suit and bow-tie; we're heading off to a ball in our poshest kit image.
Not quite sure who Martin thought he was...
