Heard this track on the radio tonight for the first time in many years. It sounds fantastic, I think its one that's gone under the radar, rarely do you hear it on the wireless or see it on music programs.
Through The Barricades : TOTP performance from 1986 (The official one sounds pony on YouTube very tinny)

They did some really good stuff Spandau Ballet. They did some cack as well.... She Loved Like Diamond springs to mind.
Only When You Leave is a personal favourite followed closely by the much lesser known Windy Town, which as it happens, I've just had on in the Quattro.

I suppose you can't write hits all the time and then there are the bands who push their sound forward and ultimately become average. To be honest I don't know too much about Spandau's album work because in the 80's the records i bought were split 90/10 singles to albums. The only music program I watched was TOTP so it was all about the single. Only When You Leave is a personal favourite followed closely by the much lesser known Windy Town, which as it happens, I've just had on in the Quattro. Gene. I'll go and have a listen to them thanks oh and by the way isn't Windy Town based on a little place not far from Crewe ?
