ABC – Beauty Stab (Vinyl LP | UK Original | 1983)

ABC – Beauty Stab was released in 1983 as the follow-up to “The Lexicon Of Love” and took a bold new direction: less string grandeur, instead a harder, guitar-driven sound and Martin Fry's sharp lyrics. It includes the singles “That Was Then But This Is Now” and “S.O.S.”.
