That Was Then but This Is Now

"That Was Then but This Is Now" is a song by the British group ABC. It was released as the first single from their second album Beauty Stab in late 1983.

The single was the band's third entry on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, at #89.

The music video shows them playing on a stage behind a huge Risk-style world map gameboard; scenes of the band playing, accompanied by various flags, are interspersed with scenes of a helicopter taking off and then exploding.
