Amazon.co.uk Review
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")--some more memorable than others. IGold/I'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." It's hard to imagine music like this doing that now--on the cover they look like a bunch of old guys in polo necks--but it was the 80s. I--Ronita Dutta/I

This CD contains the best tracks that Spandau Ballet recorded.It starts with one of the most well known tracks Gold, and finished with what i would call,the best track of them all, Through the Barricades.Gold is a very strong, lively song to begin the album with.Through the Barricades has such a strong feeling to it, which touches the heart, and soul.An absolutely beautiful song,to end such a fantastic album with.All in all this is the best CD I own.Well worth buying!

If you already have one of the about 6 other Spandau greatest hits albums then I wouldn't bother with this one. It is a brilliant album, but much the same as the Singles Collection, or The 12 inch Mixes, of The Collection or the other greatest hits! This is the best though if you haven't got one, and for once there is something interesting in the sleeve notes! If you haven't got a Spand Greatest, then get this one, it is well worth it!
fantastic album from my most favuorate band in the world. July 23, 2001
