Advantages: Hear the songs and specially written score again! Sing along! Disadvantages: Songs separated from the score; you need to program CD player to relive experience.
...for the CD to arrive, and looking up the Soundtrack on Ciao! was that Ciao had got the details wrong again, as the songs were listed first, and then the sections from the original score. Looking up similar details on IMdB gave a different list of songs, although IMdB did mention that their list might be different than what would be available on the OST, as they derive their list of songs from the film credits, and some songs would not be available on OST due to copyright restrictions.
When my package arrived, I took out the CD and put it on to play.
The beginning was delightful, with the introduction to TRUE LOVE'S KISS starting with a "mini-overture" and the half-talking, half-singing, discussion between the animated character Giselle (voiced by Amy Adams) and her animated woodland friends, before breaking fully into the song. She...

Advantages: Great Memories Disadvantages: None
...Ahhhhhhhhhh the 80s what a decade, rubik's cube and big hair. You should see half the photo's I have from that era but sadly they are confined to the attic.
This CD is an ideal memory of the 80s and hold songs form lots of my favourite acts such as Wham, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Adam and The Ants (yes Adam and The Ants)

Advantages: Addictive, don't get bored of the songs. Disadvantages: Why did they split up!!
...I bought this album because I am a big fan of Spandau Ballet and especially because it contained the song 'Through the Barricades'. This album was very nice to listen to and has some of Spandau Ballet's later songs. It has nine tracks and most were very good in my opinion. The songs are very original, with a good variety, the most well known is the classic 'Through the Barricades'. You will never get bored of listening to this album and I was reaching for it time and time again. Overall I thought this album was excellent, probably one of Spandau Ballet's best I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Spandau Ballet....
