ABC The Lexicon Of Love (BOXSET)

A commemoration of the album that kickstarted the 80s. With rare tracks and concert performances never before on vinyl, plus the original album half-speed mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell; a first time HD restoration on Blu-Ray of ABC’s feature film, Mantrap, plus a brand new Atmos and 5.1 surround mix of the album (individual and continuous mix) by Steven Wilson

plus notes from Martin Fry himself, and essay by Record Collector’s Daryl Easlea, this is a suitably sumptuous celebration of one of the most perfect pop albums ever.

Double-gatefold packaging including outtakes of the cover photo session by Gered Mankowitz.
