Alexander Bard's first project. Pre-Army of Lovers. 35th anniversary deluxe expanded edition. First time on CD. Complete original album plus all the singles, b-sides and remixes. Original artwork and 12-page booklet.

Maschina Records, a little nervous with excitement, presents the world's first complete works of Barbie - the alter ego of the leader of Army Of Lovers, Vacuum, Bodies Without Organs, musician, producer and thinker Alexander Bard. The first and only Barbie album appeared in 1985. Alexander Bard then acted as a sultry blonde Barbara Hitchcock, or just Barbie. A decade later, Andrey Danilko will pull off a similar trick with his Verka Serduchka, but nevertheless, Barbie was already a cheerful, provocative and extremely sexually liberated character even then, in the mid-eighties, who also released excellent dance hits. In the process of working on the second album of the project, La Camilla and Jean-Pierre Barda joined Bard, the album itself was abandoned (only a couple of singles "Wham Bam" and "Barbie Goes Around The World" were released from it, later reworked into the hit "My Army Of Lovers"). As a result, instead of Barbie in 1988, the trio Army Of Lovers appeared. Nevertheless, Barbie was an important stage in the work of Alexander Bard, because it was there that the basis of future hits that conquered the whole world was forged. If you are not indifferent to the work of Army Of Lovers, this edition should definitely be in your collection! All material has never been released before on CD and has been prepared for release from the original masters under license from Sony Music and Universal Music. Alexander Bard himself also takes an active part in the work on this edition, so the release promises to be extremely interesting. The original debut album and absolutely all the singles released by Barbie from 1985 to 1987 are located on two discs.
