True
Spandau Ballet · New Romantic/Blue-eyed Soul
Recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas, Spandau Ballet's third album traded their kilts-and-synths New Romantic look for tailored suits and a Motown-tinged soul sheen courtesy of producers Tony Swain and Steve Jolley, with the six-and-a-half-minute title track -- Gary Kemp's ode to Marvin Gaye's voice -- becoming one of the decade's defining ballads and a UK #1 hit.
