I have the 3 (1st generation) Ultravox albums on vinyl, as well as the majority of the 2nd generation (before they became too pathetic/boring). Recently "upgrated" to CD for the Foxx-era material. FOXXATED!! What a pleasure to hear these brilliant songs. WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME, and such a major influence on modern music (yet, very under-credited/underappreciated ). THere's something magical about this band.
john foxx is Ultravox ! WHO was after that some scots bloke who came from a band simmilar sounding to the bay city rollers then called themselves ultravox and even rehashed Johns great work and put their names to it !Even Billy C. attempted to call himself( with a female singer ultravox) talk about living off of the backs of others !
By the way CLO please wish your dad a very happy birthday from me (just looked through my old record collection) great memories as I bought every Ultravox single back then) Is the single Modern Love/Quirks rare od for that matter any of the early stuff?
hi, my father is stevie shears the original guitarist in ultravox, its his birthday on tuesday and id really love to get a copy of these early recordings for him. he would love to see them, is there any way i can get hold of them???
Doesn't your father these songs? I'm also searching for more ultravox! songs. But i believed every ultravox members have these recordings, live performances, videos. I also know he formed a band called Faith Global.
Hi Clo... Do You know your dad is a legendary guitarist and a genius? He invented a style later copied by many guitarists. I respect him very much! he is simply fantastic. Fans of u2 please take note, and kneel down to the guy who inveted your favourite style. Steve Shears rules cause HE INVENTED IT ALL!
Hey Clo I knew John Foxx in the late 80's i asked him what happened to Stevie and he just said " he wandered off one day when we were in Germany and never came back " What's the real story ? always loved his guitar sytle big influence
@clo210589 Hi friend, please say to your father that for me he is an idol. I can't find the words to explain what Ultravox mean for me, since when I was a child.
in this song and in Dangerous Rhythm there are sound that seemed to influence The Police. Do you have any video of Faith Global, the band formed Stevie Shears the original guitarist of Ultravox!
isn't tv orphan called "i can feel the fear in the western world " from there ha! ha! ha! lp i cannot hear it as there is no sound card in the computer iam using
Amazing stuff. This and TV Orphan are about as rare as it gets because they were both songs that were demoed in preparation for the debut album but never released. Steve Lillywhite used to let them into Phonogram studios where he was a tape op after hours when everyone else had gone home to record for free!
I'd love a double CD compilation one day of all the rare and unreleased stuff from both the Foxx and Ure eras.
Love all early Ultravox! stuff. . ta for uploading it. John Foxx is GOD!!
