Love Not Money: Everything But the Girl

"Every song on this album is a keeper: beautiful melodies and a jazzy acoustic sound throughout make for a guaranteed enjoyable listen that is head and shoulders above most (if not all) of the other production-line pop that dominated the 80's era." -- Amazon review

This is Everything But the Girl's second album which carries their jazz-pop sound more than their later albums did. It also establishes EBTG's social commentary with several songs; Angel refers to child abuse, Sean was about Northern Ireland and Ugly Little Dreams comments about attitudes towards intelligent women. The video was a fun reminder of the styles back then and worth it for that reason alone.
