40 years ago this week Spandau Ballet signed their first recording contract and within a month had released their first single To Cut A Long Story Short. The band defined the 80s in the way that The Who defined the 60s, Bowie defined the 70s and Oasis defined the 90s. 40 Years The Greatest Hits celebrates both the bands musical and cultural impact.

The 3CD set features all the hits, fan favourite album tracks as well as classic 12 versions, and a previously unheard version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic The Boxer recorded in 1990 with legendary producer, arranger and film composer Michael Kamen.
