Absolutely is a greatest hits album by English pop band ABC, released in 1990. It includes most of the band's singles, from 1981 until the album's release. A video package featuring their promos was also released. One new song, "The Look of Love (1990 Remix)", was released to promote the album, 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 single-mix, remixed by Julian Mendelsohn 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 two 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.
