The Lexicon of Love – ABC (Vinyl 12" LP)

Released in 1982, The Lexicon of Love is the iconic debut album by Sheffield band ABC, blending glossy synth-pop with lush orchestration and lyrical sophistication. Produced by Trevor Horn, with orchestral arrangements by Anne Dudley (later of Art of Noise), the album set a new standard for pop production in the early '80s. With its themes of romantic disillusionment and stylish excess, it became a defining release of the New Romantic era and a landmark in British pop.

Key Highlights

- Features classic singles like “The Look of Love”, “Poison Arrow” and “All of My Heart”  
- Genre-defining blend of synth-pop, orchestral pop, and funk-inflected rhythms  
- Groundbreaking production from Trevor Horn, known for his work with Art of Noise and Frankie Goes to Hollywood  
- Frequently reissued on audiophile and coloured vinyl editions, with remastered sound  
- Album cover and aesthetic reflect the glamour and melodrama of 1980s pop romanticism
