I never realized how much Spandau Ballet sounds like the middle ground between Talking Heads and Wall of Voodoo.

I know I for one am guilty of evaluating pretty much all post-'82ish Bowie releases through the prism of what came before, and not really giving his '90s/00s outpuch of a chance. Revisiting has been enlightening.

'Heathan' is a fab record from start to finish, in my humble. Hard to believe it's 14 years old already.

@Uncle Michael: That means you never actually saw Tecumseh's "Journeys to Diamond"! Okay, so their lead singer is only 5'3" and is Vietnamese, but he sounds exactly like Tony Hadley!

Personally I think all those old professionals are very much worth seeing. Remember whatever Oscars it was where Shirley Bassey ripped "Goldfinger" into shreds and left it shivering in the corner? They know how to do that.

discogs says 1987, RYM has 1989, and now the reissue apparently says 1988. Well!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18pm

well to be honest I made up 1988 based on the note in the reissue that it was recorded in Nov-Dec 1987, but maybe it was in the can for a year
