{"product_id":"spandau-ballet-diamond-lp","title":"Spandau Ballet - Diamond (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiamond is the second studio album by the British band Spandau Ballet, released in 1982. The album is rooted in new wave and synthpop, with strong influences from post-punk and white funk, and takes a step further toward atmospheric, club-oriented sounds while retaining the stylish, fashion-conscious aesthetic that was so characteristic of the early-1980s London scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe production is polished and expansive, with an emphasis on keyboards, saxophone lines, and rhythmic guitar textures that provide a tight, sophisticated backdrop for Tony Hadley’s dramatic vocals. The album captures the band at a transitional stage, moving from their earlier, harder-edged club roots toward a more polished, mainstream-ready sound that nevertheless remains steeped in the icy, avant-garde atmosphere of the New Romantic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOn Diamond, the band experiments with longer songs, cinematic arrangements, and a mood that shifts between hedonistic nightclub cool and introspective romance. Overall, it forms a bridge between Spandau Ballet’s underground beginnings and their later, chart-friendly pop, offering a snapshot of new wave and synthpop as they were evolving in real time in the early 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLG UK Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58609276584280,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/files\/Spandau-Ballet-Diamond.jpg?v=1790855643","url":"https:\/\/3345.nl\/nl\/products\/spandau-ballet-diamond-lp","provider":"3345 Record Store The Hague","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
