Our Take

Spandau Ballet's "To Cut A Long Story Short" gets a shiny new coat of paint with its 40th Anniversary reissue, and let me tell you, this is not just any regular old coat of paint--this is a coat of paint that shimmers and sparkles like a disco ball at Studio 54.

From the opening track to the final fade out, this album is like a time machine that transports you straight back to the glorious 80s, complete with big hair, shoulder pads, and all the synth-pop goodness you could ever dream of.

Tony Hadley's vocals are as smooth as butter, gliding effortlessly over the infectious hooks and killer basslines. And let's not forget about those oh-so-slick guitar riffs that will have you dancing like nobody's watching in no time.

But what really sets this reissue apart is the bonus material included. From rare demos to live recordings, it's a treasure trove of goodies for die-hard fans and newbies alike. Put on your dancing shoes, grab a cocktail, and get ready to be transported back to a time when music was larger than life.

In conclusion, Spandau Ballet's "To Cut A Long Story Short" is a must-have for any fan of 80s music, and this reissue only solidifies its status as a classic. So go ahead, treat yourself to a little slice of musical history and get ready to boogie the night away. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet, the iconic British band that defined the New Romantic movement of the 1980s, are perhaps best known for their mega-hit "True." Led by the suave and charismatic frontman Tony Hadley, this quintet of lads from London combined new wave synths with soulful vocals to create a sound that was both catchy and deeply emotional. Formed in 1979, Spandau Ballet quickly rose to fame with their stylish blend of pop melodies and dancefloor-ready beats. Their debut album, "Journeys to Glory," showcased their talent for crafting hook-laden songs with a dark edge. Songs like "To Cut a Long Story Short" and "Musclebound" established them as one of the most exciting bands of the era. But it was their second album, "Diamond," that catapulted Spandau Ballet to superstardom. The title track, "True," with its lush saxophone riff and heartfelt lyrics, became an instant classic and remains a staple of 80s playlists to this day. With its smooth groove and undeniable charm, it's no wonder that "True" is considered one of the greatest love songs of all time. Despite internal tensions and a long hiatus, Spandau Ballet have reformed and continue to perform to adoring fans around the world. Their live shows are a testament to their enduring appeal, with Tony Hadley's powerhouse vocals and the band's tight musicianship drawing in crowds of all ages. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the lasting impact of Spandau Ballet on the music landscape. With their unique blend of pop sensibilities and artful experimentation, this band is truly one of a kind.
