Overview:
True is the third studio album by British band Spandau Ballet. It was released in March 1983. While Spandau Ballet's first two albums earned them European popularity, True made them worldwide stars and was heavily influenced by jazz, soul, and R&B. It reached No. 1 on the UK charts, the top 20 in the United States,[citation needed] and charted in numerous countries around the world. The title track spent four weeks at No. 1 on the UK singles charts and went to no. 4 in the United States.
Other singles from the album included "Gold" (a No. 2 UK hit and a Top 30 hit in the U.S.), "Lifeline," "Communication," and "Pleasure." Later album releases by the band never equalled the success of True. Spandau Ballet broke up in 1990 and reformed in March 2009.
"True" was remastered on CD and stereo SACD in 2003 for its 20th Anniversary. In June 2010, a special edition was released on 2CDs and DVD as part of the 2010 Spandau Ballet reissues series, featuring remastered 12" remixes and b-sides, plus a live concert.
In 2008 the album was given away free with copies of the Daily Mail newspaper.
