Absolutely is a comprehensive greatest hits package by the English band ABC, released in 1990. This covered all the eras up until 1990, and had all their singles together. A video package featuring their promos was also released. One new song called "The Look of Love (1990 Remix)", was also released to promote it, but not with approval of the band. Other remixes were included on this compilation, including "When Smokey Sings (The Miami Mix)", "Be Near Me (Munich Disco Mix)" and "One Better World" (Pickering-Park Mix).
% The "Pacific Mix" of "Ocean Blue" is not credited as a remix on the compilation but is the alternate version, re-recorded after the release of the "How to Be a ... Zillionaire!" album. This version of "Ocean Blue" is also sometimes referred to as "Ocean Blue '86" although no official release has held the title.
^ The US pressing of "Absolutely" features the "1990 Remix" of "The Look of Love". The earlier UK pressing, however, features an edited version of the original "US Remix" of "The Look of Love", credited as "The Look of Love (Remix)". This edited remix version was released earlier as "The Look of Love (Part 5)" on the UK CD single version of "The Real Thing". It is approximately 2 minutes shorter than the full length 12" version from 1982 and also appeared on the German (red-border) remaster of The Lexicon of Love as a bonus track credited as "The Look of Love" (1990 Remix), which has led to confusion for collectors.
