Title Note

ABC: Martin Fry (vocals); Mark White (sythesizer, samples); Don Snow (keyboards); Keith Leblanc (drums, programming); Gary Moberly (samples).

Additional personnel: Skip McDonald, David Williams (guitar); Guy Barker (trumpet); Brad Lang (bass); Chris Whitten (drums); David Palmer (hi-hat); Jackie Challenor, Maye Mackenna, Lorenza Johnson and Alan Carvell (background vocals).

ABC had already transformed once, from the gold-lame-suited romanticists of 1982's THE LEXICON OF LOVE to the politicized Roxy Music-styled rockers of the following year's BEAUTY STAB. But everything about 1985's HOW TO BE A ZILLIONAIRE! was a shock, from the garish sleeve to the human cartoon characters in the band photos, where singer Martin Fry and guitarist Mark White were newly joined by statuesque blonde Eden and bald, diminutive David Yarritu.

Neither Eden nor Yarritu made any apparent contribution to the album beyond spoken bits in the Gary Glitter-esque "A To Z." (Collectors may be interested that Eden's contribution to that song was truncated in deference to delicacy after the album's initial pressing.) Lyrically, ZILLIONAIRE oozes irony and vitriol, most especially on the title track and "Vanity Kills," but the music and production are exemplary state-of-1985 dance pop and the hit "Be Near Me" is one of the band's best.
