Advantages: Poison Arrow

Disadvantages: a few weaker songs

You have to love ABC, they have been around since 1981 and are still feverishly touring the UK trying to stay in the public eye. I love eighties music so I thought this best of would be a good place to start

Who are they:

A pop group from the eighties, who were sometimes jovial and also quite cutting edge for their time. Led by the handsome and deep voiced Martin Fry.

On this album:

The best tracks are 'Look Of Love' which is still played over and over on radio, a catchy pop number about the pitfalls of falling in love. 'When Smokey Sings' narrowly missed the top ten but is a charmer with some heartfelt lyrics and one of my faves is 'Poison Arrow' with some bittersweet lyrics and showcasing Fry's range really well.

Worst track:

'Ocean Blue' was not a big hit and was not memorable for me, just a drab tune.

Artwork: Sleek and stylish as always

Overall: There are a handful of good ones that you'll remember and also some ones you won't know at all!

Summary: not a bad best of
