Once More is the seventh studio album by British band Spandau Ballet. It was released by Mercury Records on 19 October 2009 in UK and Ireland. The album includes eleven re-recordings from their back catalogue and two newly written songs. The first single, the title track "Once More", one of the two brand new songs, was released as a promotional single on 5 October 2009 and as a digital download on the same day as the album was released. The music video for "Once More" was filmed. The album debuted at number 7 on the UK Album Chart on 25 October 2009.
Once More is the first new recording by Spandau Ballet since 1989. Eleven of the thirteen tracks are re-recordings of previously recorded songs by the group. The first and the last track on the album, "Once More" and "Love is All" are new songs written during the band's reunion. The title track is written by Gary Kemp and Steve Norman, while "Love is All" is the first Spandau Ballet song written by Tony Hadley. The album is produced by Danton Supple, who co-produced Coldplay's X&Y album.
"Once More" is a 2001 single by The Orb with vocals by Aki Omori. The B-sides include remixes by Mark Pritchard and Bedrock. The Bedrock remix was featured on Sasha & Digweed's Communicate album. It peaked at #38 on the UK Singles Chart.
"Aki Omori used to sing with a band called Freaky Realistic," said Alex Paterson, "and we hooked up a few years ago. For once, we actually sat down round the kitchen table and started writing the song – which is unheard of for me. We used 'Higher Than The Sun', which we did years ago with Primal Scream, as a blueprint and actually finished it in November '98."
Once More is a duet album by Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, released in August 1970. It contained the #4 country single "Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man," written by Parton and Dorothy Jo Owens (Parton's aunt) about Rev. Jake Owens, Parton's grandfather, a Pentecostal minister, as well as the comical "Fight and Scratch."
Marks and Spencer plc (also known as M&S) is a major British multinational retailer headquartered in the City of Westminster, London. It specialises in the selling of clothing, home products and luxury food products. M&S was founded in 1884 by Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer in Leeds.
In 1998, the company became the first British retailer to make a pre-tax profit of over £1 billion, although subsequently it went into a sudden slump, which took the company, its shareholders, who included hundreds of thousands of small investors, and nearly all retail analysts and business journalists, by surprise. In November 2009, it was announced that Marc Bolland, formerly of Morrisons, would take over as chief executive from executive chairman Stuart Rose in early 2010; Rose remained in the role of non-executive chairman until he was replaced by Robert Swannell in January 2011.
It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
The company was founded by a partnership between Michael Marks, a Polish Jew from Słonim (Marks was born into a Polish-Jewish family, a Polish refugee living in the Russian Empire, now in Belarus), and Thomas Spencer, a cashier from the English market town of Skipton in North Yorkshire. On his arrival in England, Marks worked for a company in Leeds, called Barran, which employed refugees (see Sir John Barran, 1st Baronet). In 1884 he met Isaac Jowitt Dewhirst while looking for work. Dewhirst lent Marks £5 which he used to establish his Penny Bazaar on Kirkgate Market, in Leeds. Dewhirst also taught him a little English. Dewhirst's cashier was Tom Spencer, an excellent bookkeeper, whose lively and intelligent second wife, Agnes, helped improve Marks' English. In 1894, when Marks acquired a permanent stall in Leeds' covered market, he invited Spencer to become his partner.
