King without a crown - ABC

Although released as the third single from their album 'Alphabet city', 'King without a crown' was my favourite of the three, and I was pretty excited about the fact that it would also be the British group's first CD single release.

Unfortunately, the offerings on this CD single were less good: the two live tracks can't stand up to the original album versions of 'The look of love' and 'Poison arrow' and although the remix of 'King without a crown' is quite good, I still can't figure out why the record company decided to include an abridged version of it instead of the full remix that was released on the 12" single. But anyway: this was my first ABC CD single, and more would follow through the years.

1. King without a crown
2. The look of love (Live in Boston)
3. Poison arrow (Live in Boston)
4. King without a crown (Monarchy mix - Abridged version)
