Released in September of 1981, ABACAB became the band's second #1 album on the UK charts. It hit #7 on the US charts. The songs were originally listed in such a way that the first letter of each spelled ABACAB, so this became the name of the album. The final version of the album, however, featured the songs in a different arrangement!

The album cover was designed by Bill Smith, who had created an abstract design with colorful torn paper for a different project -- until the band spotted it and wanted to use it for their album. Originally, the album cover came in four different color variations. This artwork features the Blue/Grey album art. 

The lineup for this album was Tony Banks on keyboards, Phil Collins on drums & vocals and Mike Rutherford on guitar & bass.
