Spandau Ballet - True (30th anniversary)

Today (March 4th) marks the thirtieth anniversary of the release of True, the third studio album from Spandau Ballet. It would be an understatement for me to say that I love this album. It is easily in my top three albums of my high school and college years. I most definitely will be pulling this one up on my iPod today and enjoying.

Spandau Ballet - True

Next week we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US, so I thought it would be nice to review one of those records I’ve always been “thankful” for. Here is one of those albums.

On March 4th of 1983, UK band Spandau Ballet followed up their second album Diamond (click here for that review) with a record that would become a huge seller for them and finally give them a breakthrough in the US market. True, with a strong mixture of jazz, soul and R&B, went to number 1 on the UK charts, going Platinum there, number 1 on the New Zealand charts and number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 200.
