Publicity photos are are mass-produced photographs of the band or artist that are included in press kits provided to the media. Also called "stills", some of these pictures may be familiar to fans who remember them from magazines or advertisments appearing around the time of specific record releases, but many are never-before-seen shots. Publicity photos were used by the manager, agent and record company only for the span of one album release. These reproductions are printed on smooth glossy paper, usually either 8-1/2 by 11 or 8 x 11 format.

One of the more popular new wave bands of the early '80s, the British group ABC built upon the detached, synthesized R&B pop of David Bowie and Roxy Music, adding a self-conscious, campy sense of theatrics and style. Under the direction of vocalist Martin Fry, the group scored several catchy, synth-driven dance-pop hits in the early '80s, including "Poison Arrow," "Look of Love," and "Be Near Me."
