Actually in one of the very first publicity shoots of the new line up of ABC (from which this cartoon image is a drawing of) Eden was wearing a black wig, also on the back of this sleeve are individual pictures of the band members - again Eden is in a black wig.
@Garylpool1 You're right- I viewed their video for "(How to be) A Millionaire"; it shows the cartoon band images again, with Eden portrayed(briefly) with black hair, same as here. I guess she just changed it for different looks.
Almost the bard in words! ABC shall find a niche for excellence in recorded history. I'll ellaborate, I understand how you love this tiny entity! By the year 1984, Millionaire,Billionaire and even the Japanese Trillionaire found a home in the hearts of a global community. Listen carefully and closely to the lyrics.
Enunciations only come around every once in a while. It's only a blue moon that words carry such weight! "I've seen the future, I can't afford it".
David Yarritu (midiget bald guy) & Fiona("Eden") Russel-Powell(blond girl), were hired by ABC for their unconvential looks on-stage & in videos. In Yarritu's case, it was his short stature, shaven head, oversized glasses and diminutive build. He was the lone American in the group. Today Yarritu works as a freelance photographer and is based in New York City. Both Yarritu and Russell-Powell had small spoken parts on some tracks from "How To Be a Zillionaire"
I have this 12" and never knew until this weekend that the opening "That's right" was sampled from "Silver Convention - Get Up and Boogie" I heard it this weekend and recognized it right away.
Man This was my time back in the 80s! I date a girls her name was Linda and she look like the on in the video. Those were happy times. Music was fun, not what you hear today. Live long ABC!
AWESOME!!! I nearly wore out my shoes on this track...80s, the best times of my life!! Disco dance galore through the wee hours. ABC, your spirit lives forever!!
I cannot say this with most bands at all - But ABC can do a ballad and a dance version of the same same song, like this one, and get away with it. Great Job on the Regeneration 2008/2009 tour ABC!
this is very good music that makes me carry you through the door of time, when everything was very original and there where a lot of dancing and singing
@limpar69 You've got an excellent point here. That was a singing and dancing generation back then! We would literally dance almost all night until dawn came! How fun it was!
For some reason, this is one of my favourite single sleeves of the all time (regarding your image above). Such great graphic design. It really fits the spirit of the music within.
whenever they hit those 3 beats of the drum i hold out my hands & snap my fingers 3 times.

(From a diehard ABC fan): one error in the cartoon images of the band on this album cover art- "Eden"(Fiona Russel-Powell) had blond hair, not black!

Martin Fry(lead vocals) once remarked on the "Zillionaire" album as "Mickey Mouse meets Elvis".

Hey, it's not supposed to fade like that! There's actually another 20 or 30 seconds of the remix, then it ends cold.
