I have never heard much of Spandau Ballet, but the song “Gold” is truly brilliant. I have heard it many times before but have not noticed how brilliant this song is until recently. I just saw the video and was amazed
Ah, the Spandies. Despite the regrettable outfits and wedge cuts they were actually very good. If you like SB one of their earliest tracks (“To Cut A Long Story Short”) is brilliant. Very different sound than the smoothed-out R&B flavor of the “Gold” and “True” era.
“Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On)” is another great early track of theirs.
