The Best of Spandau Ballet is a greatest hits album by English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released on 16 September 1991 by Chrysalis Records. It features most of the band's singles between 1980 and 1989 in chronological order of release. All tracks were taken from the 7-inch singles for each song, and some of those versions were also included on their respective studio albums. The CD version of the compilation omits "She Loved Like Diamond" and "Raw" in order to facilitate a single disc release.
The editors of Music Week wrote, "'True' and all the rest sounding pretty strong when collected together."[1]
The Best of Spandau Ballet peaked at number 44 on the UK Albums Chart. It also reached number 15 in the Netherlands and number 41 in Australia.
All tracks are written by Gary Kemp and taken from the 7" single recordings.
