SPANDAU BALLET True (2003 US issue limited edition digitally remastered 8-track enhanced CD album including Gold CD-Rom video plus Home Video Footage Photo Gallery and Weblink picture sleeve)

2009 album from the reunited '80s New Romantic quintet. On Once More, the band revisits eleven of their biggest hits and throws in two brand new tracks: 'Once More' and 'Love Is All'. While many have said that a Spandau Ballet reunion would never happen, the band surprised everyone in early 2009 by announcing that they were, indeed, giving it another go. After a very successful UK tour, this exciting release will whet the appetites of those outside the UK who were not able to catch the band on that historic tour. 13 tracks including 'True', 'To Cut A Long Story Short', 'Lifeline', 'Only When You Leave' and many more. Universal.

2010 remaster of their 1981 debut album along with several original seven inch single versions.CD2 includes several twelve inch mixes plus a previously unreleased BBC Session from March 1981. Packaged in a 6-panel digipak. 19 tracks.

2008 two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition of the '80s superstars' 'best of' collection including a bonus DVD that compiles their best videos in one place. Spandau Ballet grew out of the same New Romantic scene that spawned Duran Duran and, for awhile, the two bands had a playful rivalry that was similar to The Beatles and Rolling Stones rivalry two decades earlier. By the mid '80s, Spandau had transformed themselves into a well oiled Pop/Soul machine with hits like 'True', 'Gold', 'Only When You Leave' and others. This collection brings together their biggest hits and videos and is sure to please long-time fans....and it's bound to get those Duran boys riled up again! EMI.

That small coterie of early-'80s Britpop bands who were part of the New Romantic movement--a dressed-up and dance-oriented response to punk rock--have largely been dismissed as pretty boys whose affinity for hairspray and trend mongering outweighs their talent. And while there's some truth in that, it's largely an unfair characterization. As evidence, check out this collection from Spandau Ballet, who began life as the overly photogenic house band (love that eye patch) for London's Blitz club and went on to international fame with pop-soul crooners like "True" and "Gold." But the band was more interesting on earlier tracks like "To Cut a Long Story Short," which suggest that brothers Gary and Martin Kemp could come up with a slightly smoother take on the intentionally stilted funk of cronies A Certain Ratio. In the unlikely event that pop revisionists ever give the New Romantics their due, Spandau Ballet will be at the head of the queue. --Bill Forman
