Ralph Jackson Martin Fry is still out there. In fact, In June 2014 it was revealed that a dozen early tapes were discovered of rare remixes and unheard songs from ABC's first three albums. These were returned to him and he was delighted, but so far, he isn't sure what he's gonna do with them. The rediscovered songs "include a "That's It Folks!" mix of "So Hip It Hurts" from Zillionaire. From Beauty Stab, reams of early studio takes have come to light including one song, "You And Me," that never made the final album. From the Lexicon of Love era, the group's own, pre-Trevor Horne demos of "All of My Heart" have come to light, along with a reel entitled "4 Ever 2 Gether - The Outtake, Starring Martin Fry as Ken Dodd.
