ABC
Album - Look of love: The Very Best of ABC.
Album is a single CD, containing 17 songs, as the title suggests 'The Best of ABC'.
Front cover shows Martin Fry reclining in his famous GOLD Suit. Back cover shows the 17 track titles and an empty theatre with just fry's jacket hanging over a chair, suggesting he's on the stage?
Inside is a shockingly red CD and small front cover booklet. This contains some information on martin and some of his songs.
Centrefold is martin reclining in his shockingly loud gold suit.
As with 'Tears for fears', ABC where of the early eighties and had a very distinctive and recognisable sound.
Fry was born in 1958 in Manchester. He was initially asked to join a band put together by Mark White (Guitarist) and Steve Singleton (Saxophonist) but soon he took over the band and gave it its ...
Ravensburgh ABC Game
Yet ANOTHER "Santa" gift received by one of our girls at yet another Christmas party (seriously, their social life is WAY busier than mine)
It's a very sturdy cardboard box containing 26 pairs of cards. Hardly surprising, really, as it is an alphabet game.
The pieces are approximately 6½ cm (2½") square and made of good quality, thick cardboard. They are double sided. One side has the lower case letter, black print on a white background and the matching piece has a pictorial representation for that letter.
The reverse of both pieces is an orange shade with white writing; the lower case letter on one piece and the corresponding upper case letter on the other piece.
The puzzle comes with an accompanying leaflet with guidance of how to extend the educational value of the puzzle and four ...
Advantages: A fun way to learn your ABCs Disadvantages: none that we have found
My son was bought this as a Christmas present from his big sisters last year and they informed me that it only cost them £6 from TK Maxx which is a bit of a bargain when you see that it's listed as selling for around £15. The main reason they bought it was the my son loves Dr Seuss books and having seen how good the Cat and The Hat CD Rom was that we had for him previously they decided this should help keep him amused as well as help him learn his ABC's as he was already taking an interest in lettering on certain products and in the magnetic letters on his gran's fridge door. He also loves pressing keys on my PC and hearing stories and playing games on the CBeebies website and as this had helped him with counting - thanks to a very annoying Teletubbies game - they thought this would be ideal.
Dr Seuss is well known to most parents ...

Album Notes
A history of ABC from 1981-89 with a 16 page booklet. Producers include: Trevor Horn, Steve Brown, ABC, Mark White, Martin Fry. ABC's first four albums are an intriguing litany of '80s pop styles. The lush romanticism of 1982's THE LEXICON OF LOVE, the politicized Roxy Music-style rock of 1983's BEAUTY STAB, the ultra-ironic post-glam dance tricks of 1985's HOW TO BE A ZILLIONAIRE! and finally, the radio-friendly pop-soul of 1988's ALPHABET CITY, create an interesting trajectory. Throughout, singer Martin Fry and guitarist Mark White pick up and discard personas and musical references with the ease of a clotheshorse trying on new suits. Which is not to discount the music, which is flawless, inventive pop that extrapolates from not only Roxy Music--the most constant comparison--but also the Beatles, Motown and David Bowie. Collecting nothing but singles--three each from the last two albums, four from LEXICON and only two from the underappreciated BEAUTY STAB--plus a new track and a handful of pleasant remixes, ABSOLUTELY ABC is not everything you'll ever need, but it's an excellent start.
