Way back in September 1990, Spandau Ballet got together at Master Rock Recording Studios in Kilburn, London to record a new track with Michael Kamen, the film composer and arranger known for his work on movies like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Highlander. The idea was to put it out on a greatest hits album that Christmas. That never ended up happening.

But later this month, Spandau Ballet are releasing another greatest hits album called 40 Years – The Greatest Hits, celebrating the sophisti-pop band’s 40th anniversary. And that 3xCD collection will include the track they cut with Kamen, a never-before-heard cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s 1969 classic “The Boxer.” Listen below.
