Journeys to Glory is the debut studio album by Spandau Ballet, originally released in 1981 on Chrysalis Records. The album captures the band’s early new‑romantic and post‑punk sound, preceding their later mainstream pop success.
The sleeve is minimalist and embossed, featuring a faint classical figure within a circular border, with the title printed at the top and the band name at the bottom. This understated design is typical of early‑1980s UK art‑school‑influenced new‑wave releases.
Notable tracks include:
To Cut a Long Story Short
Reformation
The FreezeConfused
Age of Blows
