May 27th is the release date for The Lexicon Of Love 2 thru ABC's new website. Fairly expensive bundles (one going for $400). Amazon etc not up yet.

Annoying that the DVDs are only available with vinyl I don't want.

I'm getting the deluxe boxset and the cd.

Looks like a great package for me. Maybe they will sell the DVDs later on.

You could always sell the vinyl.

which is overpriced?
the boxset..

i would imagine that individual items will be made for sale also.

these are special items for collectors.

you can always get the cd or digital versions.

With physical media sales <heck, music sales in general> being so dismal these days, I don't fault artists who offer big collector's items for fans who have the cash as long as there's cheaper items with good stuff for the rest of us lowly minions. That's the trend and has been for a while now, including signed stuff for those who go for that and don't mind spending a bit more. I've bought a few signed things in the last few years myself.

I'm not expecting this new album to be anything close to Lexicon 1< how could it?> but am still very much looking forward to it!

Why is Traffic included in this box set apart from not being a very good album it has nothing to do with this release at all. There should have been an option to buy a CD+DVD package with the The Lexicon of Love Live at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane instead of people having to fork out either £300 or £100 to obtain those DVD's. I wish vinyl would piss off as well it died a death in the early 90's and it should have stayed that way.

Video for Viva Love is now up on Facebook. It's a total throwback on Poison Arrow and has many scenes clipped directly from it. Hope there's a maxi bundle with remixes planned as well. I still like those Brothers n' Rhythm mixes from the 90s.

kiss me goodbye is available on several sites, such as amazon for purchase.

you can also hear a short preview.

it's a slow midtempo track, with lots of backups and soaring strings.

its been revamped from the earlier version.

the album is out now.

it's decent, but of course, you can't compare it to the original.

it's got a few upbeat songs, but there's too many ballads and slow tempo songs on it.


it's very well produced, and it will take a few more listens to get into it.
