Here are some sample pictures of the booklet.
I still have to fix up the text, change some of the formatting,
add a few more things in, and it should be good to go.

thanks for checking out these
previews.
please support ABC and their
music.
abc – vanity kills (mendelsohn mix)
next up,
the very cool UK remix
of vanity kills.
why this never made it onto
the US 12″, i’ll never know.
the USA mix is very inferior
i think. same with the artwork, etc.
this mix, is more in line with
the previous ones for millionaire,
and be near me. the artwork matches,
and also they get the weird b-side,
judy’s jewels.
lots of energy, and coolness…
it still is not on cd.
julian mendelsohn does a class act on it.

abc – be near me (ecstasy mix)
next up,
the other remix of
be near me.
this was on the b-side of
the original remix in the US,
but not the UK. weird.
but it would appear on many,
many,many other releases,
such as vanity kills, ocean
blue, etc.
it still is not on cd.
i like the vocoder, electro sound
of it.

this was the b-side to the

it was only found there,

it has not been released on cd
yet either.
it’s a basic instrumental.

Vanity Kills(UK)
next up,
the uk release of vanity kills.
this was the third single from the album.
Two music videos were made by the band ABC. The UK video shows the four band members moving
against a dark background, using simple stop motion camera tricks. The US version, directed by
Peter Care, has a spoken prologue and epilogue, and presents Martin Fry and Mark White as noir
detectives, investigating a variety of shady American characters.
this is a nice little mix, that is different
from the album version.
quite a few other mixes were made of this song.
with an initial mix ‘the abigails party mix’ being
on the original cassette and cd.
the b-side was a strange instrumental, with
a few vocals, called judy’s jewels.
