Last night was the first &#8220;various artists&#8221; record and today I&#8217;m logging the first 7 inch. Turns out it&#8217;s actually a twin pack. ABC, the greatest pop band ever, put out a specially packaged single of &#8220;Be Near Me&#8221; with &#8220;A To Z&#8221; on the flip. The package also included a single with remixes of &#8220;Poison Arrow&#8221; and &#8220;Look of Love&#8221; from their first record.<\/p>\n<p>I had just put the needle down on &#8220;Be Near Me&#8221; when Mary was walking in the house. She was compelled to strike the universal rock and roll pose, one hand pointing to the sky with feet spread apart, because she <em>loves<\/em> ABC. So much in fact that she was inspired to make herself a blue fake fur jacket similar to the one that what&#8217;s-her-face in the band had at the time. If you&#8217;re not gonna marry a woman who wears a blue fake fur jacket then who? That&#8217;s what mama always said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/imheavyduty.heavydutyincorporated.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/abcbenearme.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-539\" title=\"ABC -- Be Near Me\" src=\"http:\/\/imheavyduty.heavydutyincorporated.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/abcbenearme.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: ABC Title: Be Near Me Year: 1985 Format: Vinyl 7 in.
