Spandau Ballet - Gold (Chrysalis)

In a week when most have forgotten about simple things like melodies, beats, style, feeling and simple entertainment, along come Gary Kemp and the lads to show how it can be done. Remixed but hardly remodelled from the True album, they can start to make room for that gold disc right now. (Mike Gardner, Record Mirror, August 6, 1983)

Make no mistake this is not a Number One. Bereft of the magic of "True", this works hard to be special and it shows. Consolidating Gary Kemp's chances of soundtracking James Bond films, "Gold" is elaborately classy and eminently tasteful...like the rest of the True LP, which you've probably already got. Still, you could always buy this for the nice David Band poster bag. (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, August 4, 1983)

Has Cubby Broccoli been told about this record? Someone nudge him, quick - Mrs Kemp's boy Gal has written the best Bond film song for donkey's years. It's big, bold and dramatic, with big Tone Basseying away like a good 'un. Smashing. PS - if they've got any sense they'll ditch the ludicrous Roger Moore and cast Steve Norman as 007 in the next one. (Sunie, No 1, August 6, 1983)
