Spandau Ballet - Code Of Love (The Old Grey Whistle Test 1983) 17.11.24 0504am fashion-wise i thought spandau ballet leaved a lot to be desired... sack cloth and head bands wasn't my thing... though the sharp suits probably made it seem more serious and approachable. a song for drunks after a hard day's slog in the disco....
Code of love is one of the most perfect pop songs written by spandau ballet. Gary is the songwriter but it is larger reconnue that steve's, tony's, john's and martin's arrangements and appoittements are unprescindible in the building of spandaus identity! It wouls never sound like it does without their full envolvement. Gary songwriting is only the main struture, the bones, the skeletons, but it is obvious that the others wear that skeleton with the skin and vital organs. Without them contribuition it willvsound like def leppard as normally it does sound after 85/86 and that's so little for the style os chant no1 , paint me down, the freeze, musclebound , lifeline or pride. Such great songs but they wil be nothing without the other 4 members contribuitions, innpiration, appoittements and arrangements. Even morrisey that shares everythong fifty - fity with johnny marr where condamned to give 10% to rourke and another 10% to ((sorry, his name has slipped under by tongue,...(??)(!), ( can't reach it...sorry!). It is known as morrisey /marr compositions , the best couple of composers since lennon/mcartney , jagger/ richard, and ray davies and hos mate ( another blank, please, don't let me be misunderstood).. well in duran duran everybody recognizes his place in the band, everybody brings their best to it and its a common worth and work, and they don't discuss about it, its a band composition anyway or anyhow it csmes or who has had the original inpirational for the 'body of work' as they call the beginning process ! Anyway love the spans hate (?) Def Leppard (...), long life to imortal compositions and interpretations of instinction, to cut a long story short pleasure or heaven is a secret..love the blue eyed soul phase of true, not so much in parade ( there's use and abuse of steve's sax, and he should be free to play the sax , percussions and guitars as he used to do in their begginings snd that's their best edge of creativity they sound like a funk combo, and ,sorry it was a flop but Diamont is an albumwhere they shown them as pioneers of a new aproach to modern dance and pop music, mixing horns with rap and everything just flows in a new dimension , they should have insist in this new pioniring adventures of 80's modern pop. They'll get they're thrwn with true , but then they've loose it. Thanks there's Throughvthe barricades , but they've loose the focus, while duran duran with their ups and downs never stop focusing their own way and made a distinctive and irrepreensible carreer of force , never forgot their origins and what was their purpose in the creation of their sound!! Think its all said!
I love the gorgeous suits these gentlemen are wearing. Very classy look.

I love this song and this album. Tony's voice is beautiful. Gary Kemp is a great song writer.
Ohh really 🤣🤣🤡??

L'ego di Gary Kemp hanno dissolto gli Spandau Ballet,gli Spandau senza Tony Hadley non possono esistere.
Tony❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sam Brown on backup vocals - fantastic!!!
Who is the other lady.. it’s not Vicky Brown I think?
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I hope Tony's getting his share of royalties from this, being as he's no longer in the band... 😢
there is only one getting those,gary kemp.
He doesn’t get royalties now, just as he didn’t get them when he was still in the band.
💍
I prefer the chorus with Gary

Shame Gary Kemp is such a greedy man.. Otherwise they would still be making new music.
not just greedy,has to be in control.
