ABC ‎– Love Conquers All (12″)

ABC definitely had a lean period in the early 90’s. (as did a lot of successful 80’s bands) They did try to shape their sound for the time but maybe the record buying public were prejudice, “Why can they have a second bite of the cherry ?”

It didn’t get a release in the US even though it had a very edited Morales mix. The other mix was by Boilerhouse. ( Ben Wolff & Andy Dean) Is that not Phil Manzanera on guitar ? So they were not scrimping on getting the right people in. It did nothing in the charts.

B-side featured on the CD version as track 10 on the reissue and shows how slick the production was of Dave Bascombe with all the ABC trademarks and a nod to disco.

  1. Enjoy yourself tomorrow. Happy B-Day🎂🍺!!
    This one I never picked up, have to see how it sounds. Probably like the Say It 12” I still wonder about their Traffic album. Much aspreciated, thanks again mate!!!! 👍😀

  2. There’s some great mixes on there, I think it’s #2 on side 2 that is percolating along quite nicely and then they kill it short with a fade out. Every time that I listen to that one I wonder if there is a fully un-truncated version of it floating around out there. Maybe I’ll find out if Vinny Vero every finishes his deluxe version of this one.

  3. Love Conquers All rates among my favorite ABC songs. The mixes are wonderful as well. ABC brought a rich Pop sound to House music on Abracadabra and it’s predecessor Up.
