About this album
The Singles Collection distils Spandau Ballet’s most successful period into a sharp survey of their rise from New Romantic innovators to chart-topping pop stylists. Released in 1985, the compilation brings together breakthrough and signature singles such as ‘To Cut a Long Story Short’, ‘Chant No 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On)’, ‘Only When You Leave’ and ‘True’, showing how the band refined its sound from angular club-pop to polished, soulful anthem writing. It captures the moment when Tony Hadley’s vocal grandeur and the band’s melodic instinct made Spandau Ballet one of the era’s defining British pop acts.
