Journeys To Glory
Used - LP - CHR 1331
1981 Embossed Jacket Original. "Journeys to Glory" is the debut studio album by British band Spandau Ballet, released on 27 February 1981 by Chrysalis Records. The vinyl album features a collection of eight tracks that embody the new wave and synth-pop sounds prevalent in the early 1980s. The album showcases the band's early style, characterized by a blend of electronic instrumentation and dance rhythms. Notable tracks include "To Cut a Long Story Short" and "Muscle Bound," both of which highlight the group's penchant for catchy melodies and stylish presentation.
The production of "Journeys to Glory" was handled by landscape artist Richard James Burgess, who contributed to the album's polished yet experimental sound. The cover art, designed by Graham Smith of Assorted iMaGes, reflects the band's modern and art-school inspired aesthetic. Upon release, the album received mixed reviews from critics but managed to gain a substantial following, helping to establish Spandau Ballet as one of the leading acts in the new romantic movement. The vinyl edition, with its analog warmth, remains a nostalgic piece for fans of the era's music.

Parade
Used Import - WWS-91085
Beautiful 1984 Japanese pressing with Obi & orange insert. Also includes 24x36 poster. Their fourth studio effort. "Parade was Spandau Ballet's follow-up to their most successful LP, 1983's True. "Only When You Leave" reached number three on the U.K. charts. The three other singles that were released do successively worse: "I'll Fly for You" (number nine), "Highly Strung" (number 15), and "Round and Round" (number 19). (These charting songs are all marginal at best.) The band was still riding high in the U.K. and sold out seven consecutive dates at Webley Arena. Fans of the band, and the "new romanticism" of other acts like Simple Minds, Adam Ant, and Wham may like Parade because it comes close to recapturing the stylish, white soul sound of the True LP. But nothing on the album comes close to the song "True." Spandau Ballet disappeared from American charts after canceling U.S. tour dates in 1984 due to injury." All Music Guide - JT Griffith.

Audiophile - LP - MFSL 1-152
Sealed And Very Hard To Find 1984 Half-Speed Master. “By 1983, With The New Romantic Movement They'd Sprung From A Rapidly Fading Memory, The Members Of Spandau Ballet Showed They Had No Intention Of Traveling The Same Path. Always Ambitious, The British Quintet Really Got Down To Business: Gone Were The Kilts, Frilly Shirts, And Makeup -- As Well As The Sometimes Chilly Electronics Of Their First Two Albums. Instead, After Recording At Compass Point Studios In The Sun-Soaked Bahamas, The Group Turned Up In Smartly Tailored Suits, With A Sleek And Mainstream Sound To Match. That Came Courtesy Of Producers Steve Jolley And Tony Swain, Who Gave Spandau The Sort Of Pop-R&B Sheen That Had Produced Hits For Clients Like Imagination. And It Also Reflected The Growing Skill Of Guitarist Gary Kemp, The Band's Primary Songwriter, Who Crafted A Set Of Tunes Aimed Squarely At The Charts. The One That Succeeded Most Spectacularly, Of Course, Was The Title Cut, A Glossily-Updated Motown-Style Ballad That Became One Of The Decade's Biggest Hits -- Aided By A Video That Cast Singer Tony Hadley As A Young Frank Sinatra, Crooning About The Sound Of His Soul. But Kemp Had More Arrows In His Quiver, As Well; The Catchy Soft Disco Of "Communication" And "Lifeline" Coyly Suggests, Rather Than Demands, Listeners' Presence On The Dancefloor, While The Suave, Spy Flick-Inspired "Gold" Finally Gives Hadley An Appropriately Rich Setting For His Dramatic Warble. Some Listeners At The Time Called The Album An Mor Sellout, But Its Slick Surfaces Remain Tough To Resist, And While None Of The Cuts Generate The Excitement Of Past Singles Like "To Cut A Long Story Short" Or "Chant No. 1," True Remains Spandau Ballet's Most Consistent And Best All-Around Album.” Dan LeRoy, AMG.
