It wasn’t long before they became fully-fledged members of the iconic Blitz Club scene and established themselves as one of the super-groups of the 80s.
The band's classic line-up features brothers Gary and Martin Kemp on guitars, vocalist Tony Hadley, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble.

Lyrics:
I checked the time, it was almost time
A curious smell, an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes, but the stain still grows
Cover your eyes, the stain still shows
I feel the gaze against my skin
I feel the gaze against my skin
I know this feeling is a lie
I know this feeling is a lie
There's a guilt within my mind
There's a guilt within my mind
I know this feeling is a lie
I know this feeling is a lie
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on
Oh I should question not ignore
Oh I should question not ignore
Songs are always buried deep
Songs are always buried deep
There's a lion in my arms
There is a motion in my arm
Oh I should question not ignore
I should believe and not ignore
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on
I don't need this pressure on

This is definitely THE coolest song they ever did!
Magnificent.Not just a New Romantic boy band as some called them.This is a funk/soul classic
What a riff and funky ass beat!
Rewind back to 1981 one of my favourite Soul funk influence tracks by Spandau Ballet Chant no 1 I don't need this pressure on respect to Beggar+Co Co with there contribution
Even in 2024
If moves funk it
Best think Spandau ever did. When they came out with this low down dirty piece of funk it just blew me away.
***** I agree - this is their best song.
*****
Rocking song. Could have been done by anyone and it would have been cool, but Spandau stepped up. Agree that it was their best. Pity that they went all........mainstream?.
Amazeballs Dan 😍
@@robicenco1 I can't decide whether this or Instinction is my favourite. Trevor Horn's production on the latter is spectacular, as it usually is on anything he produces.
Yes, just watching the story of how he wrote it and the 'pressure' he was under to write another good song while they were touring
I thank god I was a teenager in the 80s best time for music ever , loved this song , I wish I could go back in time , really was time to be young 🙂
It really was . We were blessed and don’t actually appreciate it at the time but we sure do now x
I know the feeling...been blessed too... I wish those days could last forever
Really underrated song think it is fabulous ❤️
no it is not underrated
Soul boy classic never bettered or bested @@drawntofashionillustration9596
@@drawntofashionillustration9596this definetly is
Spandau Ballet with some New Romantic Funk.
Absolutely brilliant group from the 80s.
Summer 81 huge favorite at the discotheque's it became a popular anthem. Fiorucci jeans & Spandau
Just checked Google and l find it hard to believe that chant No1 never got higher than 3 in the UK charts. As far as l'm concerned this is SB's best song. This 40 year old song could still be played in a club in 2022.
2023 too!
@@genomizer2763 2024 lol 😂 😂
Very good … this track has everything…I’d go as far as to say …it’s a precursor to COOLTEMPO
Personally intinction is a better track, I do however love Kenny Wellingtons horn solo in this
Boring compared to cut a long story short
Really boring
Light of the world......alias Beggar & co and Incognito ....were the force behind the instrumentals and backing of this song ......more than a good contribution to this jam.
Absolutely fantastic ...i personally dont think Spandau were given enough credit for this funk classic...not to mention Beggar and Co,s brilliant contribution
Well said !!!
They were given lots of credit. Look at their sales, dude. Underrated comments are highly irrelevant on this channel
Brilliant collaboration with Beggar & Co. Best. Spandau. Song. Ever!
Le Beat Route, early 80s.. Soho, what a time to be on the club scene and so many stars spawned from a few clubs back then 😊
superb horns section, conga licks, rolling bass-line, nice one boys, tune!
Best spandau song in my opinion😎
All day long and every day
80s when the country was at its best great music great times
They should just have done SO much more like this. The collaboration with Beggar & Co was inspired. But we want more!
heard this on a massive system at the weekend. It's a brilliant dance track.
One of the best Spandau Ballet songs. So good......
So true
@@mirabellamcgarry8269 So true is a better track
@@AbubakrGalant lol
Gundy G. Highly Strung,....Only when you leave,....
Correction: It is the best Spandau ballet song 😏
Loved working with these guys...legends, and real gentlemen too:)
Right at the heart of the brit funk scene..a great time for me just leaving school into the big open world..you guy's along with many other brit funk bands made my teenage years brilliant..thank you ..🙏
Beggar & Co You guys were all brilliant. Early 80s Brit Funk was the best! And this was by far, Spandau’s greatest hit.
💕
Loved your work especially when you guys were working as Light of the World. “London Town” is still one of the greatest tunes ever written about London. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
who r u
Beggar & Co. Thank you, your gr8 work on this brilliant track. I doubled back & got into your work too from this. Thou after a house party got your LP's kniked, only got MULE Chant No 2 12" left of your's.
Oh, the early 80's..this makes me feel like homesick. If only I could travel back in time! and do it all over again.... 🎶🎵💋💋
Always loved this song. Never knew it was Spandau Ballet! Well done!
Watching a documentary on Spandau Ballet on Sky Arts and Gary mentioned this. Incredibly modest guys for whom the sky's the limit
First Spandau single that I ever bought! You can smell the sweat in every play🎤🎤🎤
Great piece of Brit funk
The only song I like by Spandau Ballet, it is funky, jazzy, exotic. Still great 👍😘
I think so too
Yes one of their best too. They changed their rhythm by true of course. I liked them a lot but by the barricades time I went off them so too alas.
Oh and another 80's master track.What a decade!!!
Less than a million views. This is Spandau's best song - ramp it up - amazing stuff
ramping it up! i heard this on the bbc radio today and i absolutely loved it.
And the fantastic trumpet solo too!
Only about 100 views away from 1 Million!
Great song to wake up to. Love it.
This must have been the best work of Spandau Ballet. This one pops regularly up in my head.
Haven't heard this song in ages
Still sounds good today in August 2024 as it did when it was released back in the summer of '81
July 1981
Musclebound was also released by spandau ballet in '81
Those were the times....
This sounds so fresh, like it was released just now! I love this track!
they did great songs like this. And im a huge duran fan
Still FUNKY as Hell and without Nile Rodgers help!!! 😍👏👏👏
Cheers,
Hans.
Much better without Nile Rodgers. Just funky, effortless
Who needs Nile when you can do funky so naturally and effortlessly? Oh that's right Duran needed Nile's help, afew times
But with the help of Beggar & Co - Tottenham's finest, who provided the groove for a few other bands at the time.
This Kind of area was so Phenominal, you can see how create Spandau Ballet was, with that tune 👌
I think this is Spandau's best. Meaty new romantic funk, before they went too poppy
I agree. It has a slightly manic quality which makes it brilliant to dance to.
+Colin Stop being lame. Ya meant before they gave up and took the $$$.
100% with you
I cant help but agree, what a tune!
Agree. Top tune
No better tune to get hot and sweaty on an 80's dance floor.
This song has really stood the test of time, maybe more so than True and Through the barricades. It's always being played on the radio.
Still sounds great July 2021, perhaps they should re release this, such a good tune, just have to dance to it
Totally agree with you! Great dance track love it 😀
Excellent.
June 2023 and sounds great!!!
To me this is Spandau Ballets best ever song early 80s Brit Soul funk
Can't keep this pressure on Chant no 1 feat the underrated Beggar + Co
Classic
Best album, Diamond (alongside Journeys to Glory), best songs, best era of SB. 💗
The music/song is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!
TUNE ! Get In There ! This is what it was all about - Class ! Bring back the 80’s ! “ I don’t need this pressure on …I don’t need this pressure on … I don’t need this pressure onnnn “ SING ALONG IN 2023 ! I’m singing as I type 💃💃💃💃💃💃 x. Edit to add this is f I king brilliant live ! x
Room at the Top Ilford High Rd, 1980 something, this song was massive, the place just went mad for it, always reminds me of those days.
Love the early Spandau days
Beggar and Co made this song special..
We are buying the club with this one
Timeless music 🎶 🎶👍.
Finally found what I was looking for. One of the Best from the New Romantic genre.
Best Spandau ballet tune ever
The drums!!!fantastic
The New Romantic era was fun in 1980! I also liked their Dance track "Glow" and "Paint me Down" extended mixes.
Yes, I loved this era
Lee Ozanne
I wasn't quite old enough to appreciate the fashion, but I love the music.
@@samanthalewin4397 lol
Love this song
Second hit single for this band in the Netherlands. Before the real big success came with "true" in 1983.
A magical musical time machine ..,...thank god music is so nostalgic and reminds you of a feeling back in time ...
Hipshaking classic from the Spandau lads.
They are one of the best pop groups in the world l absolutely love them ❤
One of my favourite group's from the 80s love all there music xx
Fan bloody tastic!!!!!
I love this album
I LOVE this. Turned up nice and loud! One of Spandau Ballet's best songs.
1981. Good stuff.
Tony Hadley the biggest James Bond miss of all time..ha ha....met these lads in Bournemouth 1980...great down to earth blokes to be fair..
I was the only one out of all my friends that thought Gary was the sexiest guy in that band - He still is to me lol .
Love this song, was spandu's best 🖤💋
I bought the place
Nah not him
What fantastic song....simply foooookin awesome. Thank you spandau.......big love. Xxxxxxx
Lol
Bruce Wayne bought the club. Shoutout to all you Gotham Fans.
No.3 in July 1981
The early 80's were the best years of the 70's. Love this tune, can't imagine a funkier sound, give me horns or give me death!!!!
Anthem for then and now.
Best spandau song. Duran fan myself
I like the later stuff too but I wish they kept the early funky punky new romantic style they originally had
Matured..fun, funky and cool.
savage 80s vibe.
This song inspired Paul Weller 🍀👍
Yes, for Jam's The Gift and the Style Council era
👍 .All the band are complimentary to each other .🙂
dat bassline...😎😎👌
Seriously, there best.
Danced a lot on this track in the early eighties
WONDERFUL SPANDAU BALLET ❤❤❤
Thank you for the memories here too of course!
The band and the vocals start off sounding totally Talking Heads, then after a few seconds Hadley's accent is so unmistakably English that you're like, nope, Home Kineties' boy.
Back to clubs where they good and not now days
I like Spandau ballet records and them and the songs
I agree with you Spandau ballet were a great band this track was my favourite but they sang some great tracks this song shouldve gone higher in the charts
My God...THX 4 this 1! No ages can be valued from this tune...
I love this song . Its take to London
When i was over there for the best time . Later on its was my home
This song and To cut a long story short are so damn funky. Then they immediately sold out with the big sugary ballads. Oh well...
Yep😊
Leon Bridges definitely got some inspiration from this, especially on bad bad news
Perfection❤
Absolute Banger!
Great & Classic
Wonderful Song & Magnificent The Band Spandau Ballet:)🥇❤️
There is a reason I love 80's Music, especially New Wave.
The trumpets...😍😍😎
Great song, great band
fire up the quattro!
Always! 😱
My favourite Spandau Ballet track.Great band.
This song was actually written about me.
See if you can get it.....
I don't need this pressure, Ron!
ooooooh. No need to get offensive.
It's only a bit of fun. lol.
