Hailing out of Sheffield in the UK. ABC oozed coolness by dressing to the nines and giving the world some slick soulful pop tunes. Poison Arrow was the groups second single and became a Top 10 single in Australia in 1982

Stacey Q catapulted to international pop fame in 1986 when her debut solo single, Two Of Hearts became a world wide free style hit. Lifted from her second LP, Hard Machine, Don’t Make A Fool Of Yourself was a more mature sound with a superb 12″ remix from Shep Pettibone to go with it.
