Journeys to Glory is the debut studio album by Spandau Ballet. It was released on 27 February 1981 by Chrysalis Records, just ten days after its recording at Trident Studios. The first editions of the vinyl version had an embossed cover. Early CD releases featured the original white cover. The album was re-released in a remastered and expanded 2 CD Special Edition on 8 March 2010.

When it was released the album was considered "fresh, bold, and even somewhat avant-garde".[4] Many fans feel that the sparse, drum-led, funk-undertones are more original than the group's later soul-influenced recordings. One reviewer describes the recordings as "completely unforgettable" and Hadley's semi-operatic vocals as "really strong" and demonstrating a "willingness to experiment".[4] Another reviewer suggests that the slow final track "Toys" was "one of the 1980s' most tragically under-rated tracks".[4]

Journeys to Glory, the Radio Show

In November 2009, BBC Radio 2 broadcast Journeys to Glory: The Spandau Ballet Story, a retrospective of the band presented by Jonathan Ross.[5]
