In the days when boy bands played their own
instruments, Spandau Ballet--a bunch of
pretty boys from north London with kilts,
shoulder pads, bad 1980s hair, eyeliner and
unmistakable good looks--caused quite a stir
and soon had both major record labels and
teenage girls monitoring their every move.
Major-league players among the New Romantic
movement, the five piece lived the high life
and churned out hit after hit between 1980
and 1986.
This compilation features pretty much all of
their offerings ("Gold", "True", "Lifeline",
"Highly Strung") Gold's sleeve notes
boldly proclaim "...this is where it all
began. Club culture, endless nocturnal
adventures, white boys high on soul and
funk-making electric dance music which moves
the city. on the cover they look like a
bunch of old guys in polo necks--but it was
the 80s.
'Gold - The Best Of Spandau Ballet'
comprises of seventeen chart hits which span
their career from 1980-1986. Includes ten
top ten singles alongside their more popular
album tracks. 'Gold', 'Through The
Barricades' and 'Chant No 1 (I Don'tNeed
This Pressure On)' are all featured
alongside 'True' which was the band's only
no.1 single. Their sound was a fusion of new
romantic pop with soul. |
