I’ve only ever heard “True” from Spandau Ballet so I’m very unfamiliar with this group. Thanks for broadening my Spandau palette, Paul 🙂
Hi Paul,
Its so nice to see another song from Spandau Ballet.
I am fan of some of their earlier works, so I have not
heard this one before.
Thanks for posting new song so I can check it out.
Appreciate the thoughts and support for what is
going on in the world.
take care
later

Cool mixes from Justin Strauss. I was quite a fan of his remixes around this time.
Cheers Paul for the 2022 transfer.
Thank you, Marco 🙂
Thanks, Paul, for this single. A great dedication to the people of Ukraine. You are always thinking of others Paul, more than yourself. I truly believe that you post more songs for people than your own preferences. Thank you for your endless and bright LIGHT and LOVE!!!!
Forever Grateful,
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff 🙂
I find this to be one of the bands best songs and too bad it was never released in the US. I do remember hearing this song while I was I the UAE back in late 1989 and thought this song was more powerful then “True.” Glad to see this again as it brought back a good memory.
Thank you, DJ Veteran it is one of my favorites 🙂
