    This is a nice 80's new romanic album by ABC, and sounds good. Nice pressing too, without pops and clicks. Probably all digital, but okay.

      ABC really represents that transition between the 70's and the 80's. Great album.

        Really dynamic recording. Quite a different experience listening on a decent system compared with ear buds!
