ULTRAVOX "the collection" cassette tape/cd 1984.
originally got this on tape as a double tape set, the second tapre was a remix tape of all fourteen tracks, the cd does not have the remixes...thank God for that IMO,
never been a big fan of Ultravox or Midge Ure's album in general, but they did make some very good singles upto 1984.
was surprised actually when i put this one on whilst wrapping presents with Dani, didnt think she would like these guys but she was singing along to most of the songs.
i like little surprises lke that...simple but nice.
four love tracks, eight likes, and two dislikes here, giving this album a rating of 2.1, which IMO is quite low for a supposed "best of" album.
the album contains possibly my favourite track from the 1980s in the atmospheric,eerie,emotive classic "vienna"
just posting links for the four love tracks here, too early in the morning, too bloody windy sitting outside also, my notes for this keep on flying away, spending two thirds of my time either running after them or trying to light up cigarettes!...damn it! now my coffee's gone cold!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
