Who’s got the look? British band ABC’s effortlessly cool debut The Lexicon of Love helped established a cutting-edge style for the decade to come, and it’ll be reissued about a year on from its 40th anniversary this summer in a pair of new vinyl editions.  The U.K.’s Universal Music Recordings will bring Lexicon back into print on LP August 4 with a new half-speed master cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road. That new master will also be featured as part of a 4LP deluxe box set, which will include nearly all the contents of a 2CD reissue from 2004 – including rare 12″ singles and B-sides, demos and live performances from the year of the album’s original 1982 release – plus a host of newly remixed audio and remastered video on an accompanying Blu-ray Disc.
