Abc Alphabet City

Returning to the Motown and Northern soul that provided the basis of their debut album, ABC turned to the pop songcraft on their fifth album, Alphabet City. The increased songcraft is certainly engaging, particularly on the hit "When Smokey Sings," but the songs are usually indistinguishable from each other, resulting in a sleek, stylish, and thoroughly entertaining album that leaves no lasting memory.

The Remix Collection pulls together extended versions and remixes from ABCs first five releases (Lexicon of Love, Beauty Stab, How to be a Zillionaire, Alphabet City, and Up) that roughly approximates their greatest hits.

"The Remix Collection" pulls together extended versions and remixes from ABCs first five releases ("Lexicon of Love," "Beauty Stab," "How to be a Zillionaire," "Alphabet City," and "Up") that roughly approximates their greatest hits. The tracks skew heavily towards "Lexicon..." (three tracks), "...Zillionaire" (three tracks) and "Alphabet City" (two tracks) but also includes the non-album track "Alphabet Soup." The disc includes the beats per minute (BPM) for each track and the mixes are a must have for any fan of ABC or 80s dance music...

If you haven't heard it, it's a bit of a toe-tapper!
