40 Years - The Greatest Hits
40 years ago this month Spandau Ballet signed their first recording contract and within a month had released their first single ‘To Cut A Long Story Short’. The band defined the 80s in the way that The Who defined the 60’s, Bowie defined the 70’s and Oasis defined the 90’s. ‘40 Years – The Greatest Hits’ celebrates both the band’s musical and cultural impact.
The 3CD set features all the hits, fan favourite album tracks as well as classic 12” versions, and a previously unheard version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic ‘The Boxer’ recorded in 1990 with legendary producer, arranger and film composer Michael Kamen.
