The early Spandau singles that did it for me were "To Cut A Long Story
Short" (which has this great nagging, distorted keyoard riff and
doesn't sound a thing like what one expects Spandau Ballet to sound
like) and "Instinction." Off of the big breakthrough album TRUE, I
will put "Lifeline" up against any chart-pop single of its era. Never
did understand why they didn't reissue that in the states after "True"
became a hit, because I'm positive it would have at least hit the Top
20.
