if you are a true fan of Spandau Ballet, then this is a must have. The extended version of Gold, with over two and a half minutes of synthesizer-induced strings, bongos and percussion in the introduction is required listening for any 80's music fan. Only When You Leave also received a nice remix. These two songs on the disc are definitely Spandau Ballet classics in style and sound. The extended version of True didn't expand much beyond the original song. Similar low-keyed treatments for Lifeline, Round and Round, and I'll Fly For You left me wanting more. I did enjoy the remix version of Chant #1 even though there was not much variation from the very well made original mix. I plan to buy another copy of this CD as mine has been listened to and handled so much, that the scratches are starting to impede continuous play.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Spandau Ballet and this version is SUPERB, September 27, 1999

The extended version of Gold is incredible well conceived. Listening to it is worth the whole record. Only When You Leave has an excellent mix and really fullfills your demands. The other low-keyed treatment like Lifeline, Highlyrestrund, I'll Fly For You are excellent. The True version has only a slight change. I think this is the best version of Spandau Ballet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Compact 12" Mixes, January 2, 2012

One of the great bands of their day and pioneers of the extended Mix along with OMD. The 12" Extended songs were always my favourite rather the shortened radio version. It almost takes Pop to the Jazz format allowing them to show their skills as Musicians. Excellent album one of my favourites. See also the reformation album that has many of the 12"versions
