Another in the excellent EMI series. The DVD will have music videos, probably most if not all. I'm not a big fan (only the first two albums when they were New Wave), but this will be nice for fans. Don't know if remasters will follow, but that's usually what EMI does. Shame they didn't include the last three hits "How Many Lies", "Raw" and "Be Free With Your Love", although the latter two were on a different label (CBS) in 1988 and 1989. It would've been complete much like the other EMI collections.

1. Gold
2. True
3. Only When You Leave
4. Lifeline
5. Communication
6. Instinction
7. Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)
8. To Cut a Long Story Short
9. The Freeze
10. Musclebound
11. Paint Me Down
12. She Loved Like Diamond
13. Round and Round
14. Highly Strung
15. Fight for Ourselves
16. I'll Fly for You
17. Through the Barricades

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
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.

I will admit I brought all their LPs when I was a young lad ! :roll:

However this is a band that has not dated well.

Remember 'Go West' ? That LP is another 80s thing that remains safely locked away in my large archive of music.
