Spandau Ballet - Everything Is Now, Vol. 1: 1978-1982 - LP/CD/Blu-Ray Box Set

2LP, 6CD & Blu-Ray Box Set — The Definitive Early Years, 1978–1982

Everything Is Now – Vol. 1: 1978-1982 is a comprehensive nine-disc box set gathering Spandau Ballet's first two albums alongside a wealth of previously unavailable material. It captures the band's rise from Blitz Club favorites to chart-topping innovators, spanning the electronic-infused new wave of early singles like "To Cut a Long Story Short" and "The Freeze" to the funk-influenced sophistication of "Chant No. 1" and "Instinction." The set includes the seminal albums Journeys to Glory (1981) and Diamond (1982) on vinyl, plus six CDs of singles, remixes, BBC sessions and demos, and a Blu-ray of Dolby Atmos and stereo mixes by Steven Wilson, music videos and rare live footage, alongside a 44-page book with original photos from Graham Smith and new commentary from the whole band.
