All Of My Heart - ABC

your lipstick and lip gloss seals my fate

I've been turned on to ABC's Lexicon Of Love album again after reading a piece in the Guardian about catastrophic sales of albums following up big successes - LOL being the success and Beauty Stab the poor selling follow-up. What interested me was a comment that ZTT's session players (basically Art Of Noise) recorded the backing tracks to LOL and Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Pleasuredome' at the same time.

There's a two year release gap between the two - but lots of Pleasuredome was recorded earlier, the singles for instance and no doubt a lot more. The question to the panel is...did ZTT intend Pleasuredome to be ABC's second album? Only when Martin wanted to go his own way did the backing tracks get turned over to FGTH.

Listening to both albums, it does sound like a lot of the backing music is tremendously similar.

An interesting hypothesis, Arthur, but one which I am unable to shed any light upon.

(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night - Tom Waits



A melancholy marvel.

Another Saturday Night - Cat Stevens

How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way

Another Hero - Poison Girls

There are no heroes fit to rule
they're all half saint, half bloody fool

Time For Heroes - Libertines

I should like this band more than I do.
