ABC - A to Z - 1985

[Crankjerk]

Who needs the moon, when we got the stars.

[NelsonClick]

This is the theme song for swallowing X in the 80's.

[g1a1h1]

This and Be Near Me were big dance cuts at Medusas in Chicago.

[craigbeasley1]

She wanted someone "else" to kiss it. Although, it was exiced on the cassette version.

She wanted someone "else" to kiss it1

[RangerGordon]

Great syncopated rhythms.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

'Howdy DISCO citizens'

[craigbeasley1]

Purely Tackhead! A fun drug pure and simple. This 1985 people! Everyone who was anyone was seriously under an influence!

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Faaaabulous!

[PALUMPALAM]

her words are pure wisdom!!!!!!

[piggypiefly]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aah, wrong. Eden is a female member of the band.

Fiona Russell-Powell, also known as Eden – vocals and record scratching

[alopezfasanella]

i am so inlove with ABC

[pawnsacrifice1]

According to WIKI, the bit where Eden wants you to kiss her snatch is actually Martin Fry speeded up and not her at all!

[TufffCop]

The first Black Eyed Peas...  AWESOME

Every track rocks

[TufffCop]

The first Black Eyed Peas... AWESOME



[Eve2nd]

YES SHE DID...

[newellgirl]

yeah i wanted to kiss Eden's snatch

[ricswapdx]

Brings back memories of dancing at the City Nightclub!

[Twomidgetsonahorse]

@ricswapdx ah for the days of the city nightclub after a quick bite at the metro then the stroll up to the city to dance the night away then the inevitable after party at quality pie and that poor waitress everyone put thru hell. Ah memories

[Djtonystewart]

They say kiss my snatch in this track....classic!

[smurfblood]

Interesting, how a band could make some of the best songs of the decade, and then, a few years later, make total crap like this.

[smurfblood]

@smurfblood Okay, "Be Near Me" is a great song.

[discoverydavid]

@smurfblood Yep, it's nice to hear that this album is as crap today as it was yesteryear when they ripped me off!

[kingmidas3000]

I remember hearing on the radio...."The Quake" in San Francisco 1985 era to be exact, that the record company recalled 300,000 albums because of that comment and FCC threats. You know..."kiss my snatch" and re released with a much milder tone. I wonder how much the "Uncensored" Original album is worth?/??

[rwk1983]

@kingmidas3000 on vinyl???hmmmm......... Deez Nuts maybe

[SonnyAmou]

@kingmidas3000 I'd be curious to know, because I have the original pressing of this record. It's been collecting dust since about 1987.

I always thought this song was kinda silly, but "Be Near Me" and "15 Storey Halo" are excellent tracks from the same album.

[Spugester26]

Brilliant stuff! That snatch comment distracted me for a while, but this is pure ABC. Pure dynamite, vive la 80's and ABC! Sheffield just kept producing mind-blowing bands in the 80's!

[ilovesheenaeaston]

I love the background vocals screamed in British accents: "Eye! By! Sigh!"

[dolphinbuc]

Mark White! That's Right! Mark White!.....Mark White! That's Right! Mark White! Right Right!

[smithypeart]

i am estatic that i can rock out to this in my head again,it's been a long time

[BabyTorres]

OMG. I have been waiting forever for this one to be posted!!!

[IanTruleyPF87]

Takes me back to Monopoly's Park Place in Dallas... Amnesia, and Good Vibrations... Good times

[eltilo]

Freakin love this song...drenched in sweat...dancin' my ass off at numbers in Houston

[sirkevin1967]

Numbers...now that was a club

[fcm9867]

1986.

this song will always remind me of old college days @ SWT. this song was playing on heavy rotation. underated song.

[jliscorpio]

Did Eden really want me to kiss her snatch?

[aramanth]

@jliscorpio That wasn't Eden...that was Martin saying that and being audio treated to a higher pitch....true fact! And since Fiona Russell Powell (Eden) wasn't in the studio to provide her voice... no royalties are paid to her for this song.

[shaneezzz]

crap for a band like ABC

[sexonsex]

true...but you have to admire their total disregard...and it still rocked...lol

[ne0nsurf]

yaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrr­rrrrrrr
