ABC
Album - Look of love: The VeryBest of ABC.
Album is a single CD, containing 17 songs, as the title suggests 'TheBest 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 ...
Advantages: good songs Disadvantages: some songs which i thought maybe shouldnt of been on the cd
To me this album is great!! there isn't a song on it which i dont like! i love all of the songs.
i think its a great value of money , you are getting much more for your money!
its the type of CD you listen to when your with your girlfriend or your boyfriend, as it contains love songs (which its called) but you can also listen to it if your single as it contains songs which everyone loves.
there are a few songs which i felt maybe shouldnt of been there as they was break up songs but i guess its stil a love song,
i would reccommend anyone who is into this type of music to go and buy it as its a brilliant album!
the quality of this album was at a good standard. ...
Advantages: The best of Blacksteet Disadvantages: Could have had a couple more?
Released in 2003, Blacksteet had already been around a number of years but only had released 3 albums, all with mixed reviews. The main stay of this group is Teddy Riley is also known for writing songs for various artists including Michael Jackson and New Kids On the Block! Throughout the years, we've seen the line up change here and there with original member Dave Hollister going solo and other guys coming and going.
The release of this album was in my eyes perfectly timed as a short while after this Teddy Riley went nuts, ok not actually mad, but his writing and musical style changed considerably to fit in with the Timbalands and Pharrells of thie world. His experimenting in production took a turn for the worst and this cd really does capture Blackstreet when they were at their best, r&b,coming out the end of the new jack swing era ...

Album Notes
THE LOOK OF LOVE: THE VERY BEST OF ABC includes two new tracks. ABC includes: Martin Fry, Mark White, Stephen Singleton, David Palmer. Producers include: Trevor Horn, Martin Fry, Bernard Edwards, Garry Hughes, Mark White. Recorded between 1981 and 2001. All tracks have been digitally remastered. LOOK OF LOVE: THE VERY BEST OF ABC skims off the tastiest cream by this early- 1980s synth-pop band. Drawing from old-school R&B, the New Romantic movement, and (for singer Martin Fry, in particular) the innovations of '70s glam crooners Bryan Ferry and David Bowie, ABC forged a stylish--and often danceable--brand of pop in which saxophones and synthesized drums peacefully co-existed. Lesser-known cuts like the exotica-tinged "S.O.S." and later work like 2001's mid-tempo groover "Peace and Tranquility" prove the ensemble remarkably consistent in sound and songwriting. Of course, it is the group's chart hits that stand out here, and for good reason. The collection's title cut, and "Poison Arrow" (an early MTV video sensation) are near-perfect pop songs. Likewise, the lilting electro-ballad "Be Near Me," the Smokey Robinson homage "When Smokey Sings" (which appropriates the riff from "Tears of a Clown"), and the catchy bounce of "How to Be a Millionaire" push all the right pleasure buttons. A winner as both a hits collection and a comprehensive career overview, LOOK OF LOVE is the definitive ABC disc to own.
