please hear a track featured on MYSPACE ABC *** that is from ABC's debut album THE LEXICON OF LOVE . I REALLY LOVED MAKING THE LEXICON OF LOVE WITH A.B.C DURING 1981 AND 1982 . THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE GROUP WAS AROUND 20 YEARS OLD AND I THINK WE MANAGED TO COME UP WITH A CLASSIC ALBUM . I'M VERY PROUD OF THE BAND AND ESPECIALLY THIS RECORD AND THE TOUR WE MADE TO PROMOTE THE ALBUM . WE WENT OUT WITH A 16 PIECE LINE UP OF SOME OF THE BEST YOUNG MUSICIANS IN THE UK . I FEEL THE SAME WAY NOW AS THEN ABOUT MY NEW ALBUM AND HAD A FANTASTIC TIME WORKING WITH MARK DAVIES MY PRODUCER AND ALL THE OTHER MUSICIANS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO IT . I LOVE THEM ALL VERY MUCH FOR THEIR FRIENDSHIP,TIME, AND THE TALENTS WHICH THEY GAVE TO MY ALBUM . I AM CURRENTLY WRITING NEW MATERIAL . THE MUSIC YOU HEAR ON MYSPACE IS A PART OF ME . MY WORK OR MAYBE SOME MUSIC THAT HAS INFLUENCED OR INSPIRED ME OR JUST MADE ME FEEL GOOD . please take alook at anne garners myspace too . and the Pylon King . both helped me with my solo album . both are very great people ... thank you .... for your kind words .. best wishes to all .

Mark no compromise Mark White . didn't even go on camera . totally rock n 'roll .
