Ultravox | The Collection (2025 Deluxe Editions)
Ultravox's "The Collection" – the iconic 1984 best-of album – sold over 2 million copies worldwide upon its initial release, including 3x platinum in the UK. The album originally collected the band's first 14 singles released between 1980 and 1984. Among the most notable tracks are the legendary "Vienna", the anti-nuclear-war inspired "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes", as well as synth-driven new wave classics such as "All Stood Still", "Hymn" and "The Voice" – plus the single "Love's Great Adventure", which was recorded especially for this collection.
