"To Cut a Long Story Short" is the debut single by the English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released on 31 October 1980. The band began recording the song before they were signed to a record label because of the interest they had generated with a debut concert for patrons of the exclusive weekly London nightclub the Blitz as well as a Christmas party at that establishment. After having tried other popular genres, the band had been preparing to make their debut as performers of dance music and wanted the public to associate them with the young crowd who met at the Blitz every Tuesday. They needed their guitarist/songwriter, Gary Kemp, to come up with something that they could feel confident about presenting to the top tier of the club's regulars at their first performance.

  • To Cut a Long Story Short är en låt av den brittiska gruppen Spandau Ballet utgiven 1980. Den var deras första singel och nådde 5:e plats på brittiska singellistan. Den finns med på gruppens debutalbum Journeys to Glory. To Cut a Long Story Short är en syntpoplåt som har sagts ha mer gemensamt med tidiga Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark än med Spandau Ballets senare hits i soulpopstil. Den inspirerade Vince Clarke till att skriva Depeche Modes hitlåt Just Can't Get Enough. År 2006 samplades keyboardarrangemanget till den brittiska electrogruppen låt In love With You. (sv)
