A couple of tracks for a brief period of time...

My rips, partially cleaned. TCALSS (Mix 2) is the 12" b-side. The Freeze is from the Act 1 cassette single so not the greatest source (but the only one)

[see new link below]

Was thinking the same thing - but didn't get around to it :D

I have the 7" versions of Glow and Freeze (special mix) from vinyls - the first is cleaned up good, the second is not so there's surface noise (for the first minute or so - not too disturbing, though). If you want I can upload them too.

OK...so here are some more Spandau Ballet tracks that have no digital release...so far.

On Diamond, Pharoah/Innocence & Science/Missionary were segued. Here are the isolated versions from the 12" Box Set. Innocence & Science also lacks the water and sound effects.
From Lifeline, the 7" b-side version of Live And Let Live, as well as the intro segment to the Communication video.

I have also deleted the above link and included The Freeze (Act 1) and To Cut A Long Story Short (Mix 2) here.

There are some DMC and Razormaid mixes out there, but otherwise the first three albums are complete with these and the available digital tracks (plus TCALSS (Version) that is shared above)

Thank you very much, df118! Great job!

My bit is here: http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/py099SBt/file.html

Personally I'd love to get the rips of the 12"s of the first three Spandau singles - just to have everything officially released off the vinyl, as CD versions often have sound consistency issues with vinyl tracks and I'm no expert with audio software to rectify that. Perhaps this is just the right topic to share them - and maybe anyone is willing? :D
