Spandau Ballet Everything Is Now | The Early Years 1978-1982 – Deluxe 2LP/6CD/1Blu-Ray Edition – Sealed Box set

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. Recommended)
