There is also the To Cut A Long Story Short 12" reissue. The rumors of a box set in 2021 would coincide with the 40th anniversary of Journeys To Glory. A lot of the website/media articles are leading in this direction. In those days, Spandau released an album a year. I suspect we may be in for comprehensive yearly box sets with bonus demos etc. as some were suggested in preliminary box set listings.

I'd love a Journeys... box if only to upgrade on that atrocious 2010 mastering.

Hopefully that bodes well for the unreleased stuff being held over for a Journeys box set. But i might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

Still, you might have a point there. Dunno about buying a "Journeys" ultrabox, but I'd be there for "Diamond." I only bought the 2009 "Diamond" in spite of the lousy mastering to hear the live material. "True" in ultrabox? Maybe.

The only draw for me on this 3cd set would be to hear tracks from Heart Like A Sky again and see how they sound.

hint: they sound incredibly dull and M.O.R. Like they always have.
