Spandau Ballet Through The Barricades Anniversary Edition CD/DVD
Just over 30 years after it was first released Spandau Ballet’s multi-million selling album ‘Through The Barricades’ is to be reissued as a specially remastered and extended anniversary deluxe edition.
The 1CD/DVD package features a newly remastered version of the album as well as a recently unearthed demo of the title track, the never before released in the UK 12” of ‘Cross The Line’ and a previously unheard version of ‘Fight The Heartache’. The DVD presents a feature length documentary especially made for this release. ‘Through The Barricades: Remastered / Revisited’ features promo clips from the album as well as a wealth of rare, unseen and newly recorded footage.
Following on in the vein of Spandau’s critically acclaimed documentary ‘Soulboys Of The Western World’, ‘Through The Barricades: Remastered / Revisited’ tells the story of the album from the new material’s first outing at Live Aid to rehearsing in Ireland, becoming firm friends with Def Leppard (which led to Gary Kemp and Steve Norman singing uncredited backing vocals on their Hysteria album) and through to the band recording in France and Germany before undertaking a yearlong tour in support of the album.
‘Remastered / Revisited’ features previously unseen home movies, new interviews with the band and live footage including a never before seen very special one off performance of the David Bowie/Mott The Hoople song ‘All The Young Dudes’ in front of 100,000 fans in Casa De Campo in Madrid after receiving the keys to the city.
‘Through The Barricades’ was remastered at Air Studios in Hampstead with the band and original producer Gary Langan, who has worked with the likes of Queen, The Art Of Noise, Seal, Yes, Billy Idol, ABC and many more.
