How To Be A Zillionaire!
1985 Original With Custom Glossy Photo Inner Sleeve in shrink with hype sticker. Pressed On Pure Virgin Vinyl. "How To Be A Zillionaire!" is the third studio album by the British band ABC, released in 1985. This album marked a significant departure from their earlier new wave and synth-pop influences, incorporating a blend of dance-pop and funk elements that resonated with the mid-1980s music scene. Produced by Martin Fry and Mark White, the album is known for its vibrant, cartoonish aesthetic, both musically and visually, which was a stark contrast to their previous works.

The album spawned several successful singles, including "Be Near Me," which became a Top 10 hit in the United States. This track, along with others like "How to Be a Millionaire" and "Vanity Kills," showcases ABC's evolution towards a more polished, commercial sound without losing their signature witty lyricism. The cover art and promotional materials featured colorful, comic-style illustrations, reflecting the playful nature of the music within.

"How To Be A Zillionaire!" stands as a testament to ABC's versatility, capturing the essence of 80s pop while exploring themes of ambition and materialism with a satirical edge. It remains a notable entry in their discography, celebrated for its bold stylistic experimentation and enduring pop appeal.
