I have the other three mixes on various and sundry but not the one on the video. The 2CD+DVD set offers 32 tracks across two CDs including original seven-inch versions, alternative edits, unreleased remixes and more. The artwork hasn’t had much thought put into it, look at the sleeves for Systems Of Romance, Vienna, Rage In Eden, Quartet, Lament and their associated singles , even the Moments From Eden 10″ single has fantastic artwork and packaging. Why not a quick and dirty transcode UP? !I noticed the same thing. I would do (and have done) the same with other artists in my collection for whom I have a complete catalog. From Visage to Band Aid to Solo stuff and Ultravox. It was released while Ultravox were taking a break; the band would go on to release U-Vox before splitting. I’m keen to hear the track with Glenn Gregory. His stage name, Midge, is a phonetic reversal of Jim, the diminutive form of his given name. Most of the DVDs in these type of packages have awful picture quality so it would be a waste of money to transfer them to a BD when a humble DVD is too good already…I wish he had rare tracks like “Something To Remind Me” by Blank & Jones featuring Midge on it.Otherwise, to me, there is too much overlap to stuff I already have.Still looks like a nice set. Digital TV has been around for 10-20 years in most places. I’m excited that sources for “No Regrets” and “After A Fashion” have been found. There are two…There are actually three different promotional videos of BREATHE. The single, "Ure also recorded the soundtrack to the American film, directed by In November 2004 Ure released his autobiography Ure continues to perform his own songs, along with popular Ultravox songs, in concerts both solo, acoustic and with a band. This certainly happened with Andrew RidgeleyI just had this thought in my mind, for no apparent reason;“Thank god, it’s not called ureology”Nice collection, when I saw ‘previously unreleased’ I was hoping for more from the sessions with Mick Karn that gave us the superb After A Fashion single. Amazing value. This is more like something that has been knocked up as a last thought.A good value package for those to whom it does…This has clearly been nicely assembled but, with any best of album, there are always tracks missing that one would like to see: I’m thinking of Guns and Arrows, Strong, Homeland, Edo, Hell to Heaven… Also, I suspect most committed fans will already have the audio tracks offered here, so it’s the DVD that will be attractive to those of us who have been there from the beginning.Perhaps the most exciting thing about this release is that clearly Midge’s various record companies down the years have cooperated on it, so perhaps we can hope for a full career-spanning box set along the lines of the recent Soft Cell one (without the glitches), including a full package of previously unheard material. Also Known As. Midge co-wrote the song with Phil.No idea, but I hope Personal Heaven is the stereo version (and not the mono version as appeared on Little Orphans)!It is the Little Orphans version but stereo.Will there ever be a release by whatever Artist that will not cause a hundred complaints about missing tracks, wrong mixes, NTSC instead of PAL, DVD instead of BluRay, “Why only a DVD?”, “Why no DVD?”, why not this, why not that? The product would obviously cost more. You can please none of the people all the time but you can’t please some of the people any time.
Anyway Midgure liked midgure cheddar as Smithy would say?There’s only one thing worse than the whingers. Should be on the DVD…a career highlight!Is ‘Dear God’ a cover of the XTC single ?I guess the promo videos are stereo… :(Thank you John. Pretty much everyone has at least a 1080p digital TV now, even in places like Asia & Africa. If you wanted TWO versions to exist – a PAL version and an NTSC version – that would be a whole lot of extra hassle for the label and increase costs, logistics, chances of errors (PAL going to the US etc.). @Paul English – yes, and I completely understand and respect that approach. A cheap Blu-Ray player can be had for USD$50 these days.
Ultravox and Midge always had a high standard of style that seems to be going by the wayside at the moment with substandard packaging, the slipcase for the cd version of Extended was just one thickness away from toilet paper, the vinyl set was better until i got to the inner sleeves. my point wasn’t to complain, rather to simply explain my reason for not purchasing.If “breath” was on the vinyl I wouldn’t have hesitatedLooks like an excellent selection. Ure visited the U.S. in 2013 for a tour and did a number of concerts.Ure worked in over a decade on the next solo album, Ure returned to North America in the summer of 2018 on a co-headline tour with Ure is a recovering alcoholic, something he discusses in his autobiography Instead of it there’ a lot tracks we’ve already had on various compilations and the remasters… :/Would of loved to see come the day on thisI can’t believe the price. I wish that it had the hit version of “Yellow Pearl” though.
