I've been wondering about a similar thing. (I'm assuming that David Yarritu is
the short bald guy.) On the videos and the 3 import 12" are cartoons of Martin
Fry, Mark White, David Yarritu & Fiona. I think the 4 also appear on the album.
However, when ABC performed on Nightime, it was Martin Fry, Mark White, Eden &
Gardner. What happened here ? Did David & Fiona leave right after completion of
the album ?

By the way, I think "Be Near Me" was released in the UK around December 1984/
January 1985 since that's when it hit the UK charts. "How To Be A Millionaire"
was the song released in September 1984. Does anyone have the Bond Street Mix
of "How To Be A Millionaire" ? I have the Wall Street Mix which is nothing but
a very fancy dub cut. It drives me crazy to only be able to hear one or two
lines of lyric.
