Many purists still prefer original British-pressed vinyl for its "tubey magical" midrange that digital remasters sometimes flatten. Track Highlights

Spandau Ballet's 1983 album True is the definitive "sophisti-pop" landmark that shifted the band from their "Blitz Club" synth roots into international soul-pop stardom. Remastered versions have been released over the years to preserve this "Brit Soul" sound for modern listeners.

Critics and fans generally agree the album is remarkably consistent:

The iconic, slow-dance ballad written by Gary Kemp; famously features Steve Norman's soaring saxophone solo.

Catchy "soft disco" tracks that kept the band's dancefloor energy alive while embracing a smoother R&B sheen. FEATURE: Second Spin: Spandau Ballet - True
