Diamond (Spandau Ballet album)


Diamond is the second studio album by Spandau Ballet. It was released on 5 March 1982 by Chrysalis Records. The album was promoted with the single "Chant No. 1 ", which was released in 1981, a full year before the album, and it reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart. The last single released, "Instinction", reached #10. The album was re-released in a remastered and expanded 2 CD Special Edition on 8 March 2010.

Releases

Diamond was originally released on vinyl and cassette in the UK in 1982, and a limited edition 4x12" box version of the album soon followed the same year. Most of the tracks included in the box set were extended versions of the album tracks. A colour poster and lyric sheet were also included in the box. Only two of the tracks were issued on a single; these were the extended versions of "She Loved Like Diamond," which is identical to the UK 12" A-side, and the 8 minute "Chant No. 1," which was later included as a B-side to the UK 12" of "Instinction." The rest of the remixed cuts were unique mixes to be found only in this box, though in 2002 the tracks "Instinction" and "Coffee Club" were included in the "Reformation" 3xCD box and in 2010 all the mixes appeared on Disc 1 of the 2 CD Special Edition of Diamond.
