SPANDAU BALLET Everything Is Now | The Early Years
1978-1982 (The definitive early-years collection from one of
Britain's most influential bands. Charting Spandau Ballet's
extraordinary journey from the cutting-edge London Blitz
scene to international chart success, Everything Is Now -
Vol. 1: 1978-1982 is a career-spanning anthology that
documents the group's formative and most revolutionary
years. Presented across 6 CDs, 2 LPs and a Blu-ray,
this deluxe box set brings together the band's first two
albums, Journeys To Glory (1981) and Diamond
(1982), alongside a treasure trove of singles,
remixes, BBC sessions, live performances, demos, and new
2025 Dolby Atmos remixes by Steven Wilson. The
collection includes a 44-page hardback booklet featuring
exclusive new commentary from all five original members,
plus rare and unseen photographs by Blitz Kid Graham Smith,
capturing the energy, design and attitude of Britain's most
stylish and forward-thinking new wave pioneers. Remastered
in 2025, Everything Is Now - Vol. 1 traces the
evolution of Spandau Ballet's sound - from the raw, electronic
minimalism of early singles like To Cut A Long Story
Short and The Freeze to the funk-infused
sophistication of Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure
On), Paint Me Down and Instinction. Housed
inside a large format lift-off lid picture box, factory sealed.
