In the days when boy bands played their own instruments, Spandau Ballet—a bunch of stylish young men from north London known for kilts, shoulder pads, bold 1980s hair, eyeliner, and striking looks—ignited a cultural movement. As major figures in the New Romantic scene, the five-piece band lived extravagantly and delivered a string of hits between 1980 and 1986. This compilation, 'Gold: The Best of Spandau Ballet,' gathers nearly all their iconic tracks, including 'Gold,' 'True,' 'Lifeline,' and 'Highly Strung.' The sleeve notes declare: '...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.' A definitive snapshot of an era when fashion, nightlife, and music fused into a revolutionary sound.
