The Alphabet Business Concern (ABC) is an English independent record label headquartered in Kingston upon Thames. It was founded by Cardiacs frontman Tim Smith in 1984.[3] Formerly just called "Alphabet", ABC owns and operates several Cardiacs-related projects[4] along with Smith's other label, All My Eye and Betty Martin Music.[5] These include Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Drake[6] (later known as the Sea Nymphs)[7] and Smith's solo work.[8] The label's music is distributed via Plastic Head Music Distribution.[9]
Since January 2020, much of ABC's back catalogue has been able to be streamed.[10][11]
