Description

12" Limited Edition 45 RPM Single. Gold Transparent Vinyl.

Chrysalis Aust 1983 - 42 Years Young

Mint Never Played - Sealed

"Gold" is a song by English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released on 5 August 1983 in the UK and on 1 November 1983 in the US as the fourth single from their third album, True. The song was written by the band's guitarist/songwriter Gary Kemp as an homage to the film themes of composer John Barry and was especially influenced by his scores for the James Bond series. This was apparent to some music critics, but they were sharply divided in their reviews. Some appreciated the energy and drama behind it, while others found it affected and overwrought. The song peaked at number two on the UK singles chart and made the top 10 in several other countries, but its number 29 showing in the US and the disappointing chart performances of the next two singles released there led to the band's decision to change record labels.
