Peel played Spandau Ballet's debut single when it first came out in November 1980, commenting, "To be disarmingly frank with you, and I always am, I was almost eager to dislike that record because of the amount of pre-publicity which the band had had, most of which had seemed rather silly I must confess, but there you are, it's a good record." Interest does not seem to go beyond that point however, their sound and style considered perhaps too vogueish and more suited to other Radio One shows. They recorded a non-Peel BBC session in March 1981. Peel introduced the group several times on Top of the Pops as they reached their commercial peak around 1983/84 when Peel was most frequently a presenter.
