This would be the very best Ultravox compilation, only it completely misses out the John Foxx led catalogue. The CD chronologically covers the band's single releases from 1980's debut 'Sleepwalk' through to 1986's non-charting 'All in one day'. All their UK chart entries are present, including the Top 10 hits 'Vienna', 'All stood still' and 'Dancing with tears in my eyes'. The underrated 'White China' from 1984's 'Lament' is also here. Eleven of the eighteen cuts appear in "single version" form. The DVD immediately renders the previously released 'The collection' DVD obsolete, which was the same as the VHS complilation. As far as I could see, I couldn't detect any significant visual remastering (if any), although the sound is fully remastered. The eleven videos from "The collection" are joined by the videos for the two U-Vox album singles - 'Same old story' and 'All fall down'. The other additions are superb live recordings of 'Sleepwalk' and 'Vienna' from St Albans in August 1980 (the uncut version of the classic 'Vienna' video is also here), the uncensored 'Visions in blue' video, and a Top Of The Pops performance of 'All stood still' (a promo was not made for this track). Packaging is fairly minimal with an eight page booklet including full credits and a photo of the band. Overall this is an impressive release - the best entry point for any newcomers plus the DVD which makes it an essential buy for fans.Read full review
A REAL BLAST FROM THE 80'S PAST! STILL GREAT TO LISTEN TO AND THE CD COVERS ALL THE BASES - DVD IS A REAL BONUS, ALL IN ALL SUPER VALUE FOR MONEY.
