Parade

Spandu Ballet was the first Band I really got hooked on as a teenager. I bought Parade and Through The Barricades from Amazon and it's been a long time since I heard those albums. I've been waiting to find them on CD and it gave me goose bumps when I first listened to them again. Great music to relax to. Thank you Amazon. :-)

I got this album because it's one of my favorites so I was excited when I received the vinyl. I played it right away and the record kept skipping at different songs on both sides. I asked for a replacement and it had the same problem skipping. I decided to return it and buy it from Best Buy. That one too had skipping issues. I returned it. All three vinyls I received had problems. There was nothing wrong with my player because other vinyls worked fine. It must be a bad batch of vinyl press from November 1, 2019. It also has paper sleeve rather than plastic. I will wait until they fix the problem and buy it again. I'll rate the Parade album a 5-star but the actual vinyl product a 3-star because of the problems.

Great album! Love this album from the 80’s! Good quality vinyl at a great price. Fast shipping! Would buy again from this seller.

This is my favorite spandau ballet album. I was unable to get it individually on cd so I purchased the box set cd's with this album on it. Spandau Ballet is among the definitive new wave groups of the 1980's never to be forgotten!

Thank you

Thanks!

One of the best collection of music by Spandau Ballet! Their music takes me back to the 1980's which was a turning point in my life.

...whether you'll like it or not is open to debate. 'Parade' (the new 2 CD 1 DVD edition of 'True' features the 2003 master) was remastered by Andy Walter, notorious for his work on the Duran Duran special editions of a few months ago. Mr Walter favours the over-compressed route which means 'Parade' is LOUD but also trebly, tinny and hard on the ears after a bit. The original CD of 'Parade' was so very dreadful, however, it still manages to be an improvement! Subtle it ain't, so if you hated the recent Duran's, I wouldn't bother with this...Packaging is a bit lacklustre too. 'Parade' is in a rather flimsy digipak sleeve (similar to the Belinda Carlisle Sp Ed of 'Heaven And Earth' last year, features NO sleevenotes, lyrics etc of any kind just a nasty fold-out piece of paper with a few photos adorning it. The 'True' packaging is a little better having a pouch for the DVD and looking a little more like it wasn't knocked up in 10 minutes.I should say something about the music! 'Parade', of course, was the follow up to the multi-platinum 'True', destined not to be as successful but still a decent set. A lot of the songs sound like 'True' and 'Gold' wannabes but it's a good, solid album that people remember fondly and, it has to be said, this was the last time a Spandau album would feature on the charts so heavily.So, you pays your money etc... If you don't mind a bit of compression, this new remaster will sound good to you, but if you yearn for a more natural, 'musical' sound, you'll probably be disappointed in this 2 CD set.

Why didn't I buy this in the 80's? This is such a classy follow-up to the 'True' album - I can't believe I didn't realise this before! Perfect summer music...

Fast Great delivery, plus product was as described great condition both vinyl and outer and inner sleeve. Plays great. Would defo order again from this seller

Fantastic album

Disc Ok, shipping not well

Love this album and takes me right back to my first courting days. Some great songs, especially Round and round.
