ABC

The Lexicon of Love ABC 40th Anniversary Half-Speed Master edition

Few albums define a particular era as does The Lexicon of Love. It's embedded deep in the fabric of popular culture. Namechecked, referenced and, now, frequently in "Best of all time" polls, the album opened up the 80s wide, in full, glorious technicolor. In 1982, ABC became the toast of the world with this album. It also launched the production career of Trevor Horn. Like the greatest landmark albums, it has transcended its origins and is simply there, an ever-evolving testament to its marriage of youth, wit, creativity, technology, emotion, masterplan and happy accident.

Now, the iconic pop album is presented in a new vinyl reissue, half-speed mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell.
