Journeys To Glory is the first studio album by Spandau Ballet. When it was released in 1981, the album was considered "fresh, bold, and even somewhat avant-garde". Many fans feel that the spare, drum-led, Funk-undertones are more original than the group's later Soul-influenced recordings.

Several of their New Romantic contemporaries (Ultravox, Duran Duran, Visage), were musically quite credible. Spandau Ballet proved at a very young age they were a force to be reckoned with. Songs like "To Cut A Long Story Short" and "Musclebound" are the album's highlights.
