Put The Needle On The Record - Week #5

Weekly feature: Put The Needle On The Record Week #5 ABC - How To Be A Zillionaire

I think we all have albums we haven't played in years and this feature, hopefully, will encourage you to play the featured album we choose each week.

For this weeks feature we go back to October 1985 and one of the most underrated albums that was released in the 1980s, "How To Be A Zillionaire" by ABC, one of the best sounding albums I have in my collection, the production is amazing, the original CD that was released I still regard as the best sounding CD in my collection!.

The album featured 4 singles "How To Be A Millionaire" (which reached number 49 in the UK singles chart), "Be Near Me" (reached number 26 in the UK singles chart) "Vanity Kills" (Which reached number 70 in the UK singles chart) and "Ocean Blue" (which reached number 51 in the UK singles chart)

The album only peaked at number 28 in the UK albums chart, which is criminal! It is also long overdue a deluxe edition release!

For me this album is a masterpiece and the closing track "Between You And Me" is one of my all time favourite ABC tracks.
