I remember enjoying it and but don't remember the details. What is sometimes forgotten is that most expectation was with John Foxx, with little attention paid to the rest of the band, particularly when they recruited Midge Ure. However I do remember when "Sleepwalk" was released as the first single, and it was surprisingly good. However "Vienna" changed everything (both good and bad), and I did catch this version of Ultravox a couple of times in the early '80s in Manchester, but perhaps they did drag on (I have never listened to the U-Vox album, even out of curiosity)dchughes62https://www.blogger.com/profile/13334292417083649813noreply@blogger.com
