Ultravox Reunion Tour
I live some 15 miles south of Cologne, I remember there was a story featured about that album back in the eighties on the radio. Some regional pride buisness, I guess.

Have you got the remastered version, with live tracks?eotunun wrote:I live some 15 miles south of Cologne, I remember there was a story featured about that album back in the eighties on the radio. Some regional pride buisness, I guess.

If they were playing the entire album then I'd go 
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.
Didn't know that, but then it was years before I discovered what the backwards lyrics on the title track are.eotunun wrote:(Did you know that "Your Name has Slipped My Mind Again" was recorded in an empty water reservoir? -The vast echo is real, not an effect!)
Both the remasters are pretty good, except that the record company backed out of printing the full booklets (complete lyrics, extra photos - sadly no decent sleeve notes) at the last minute. The complete versions can be downloaded from the website.Almiche V wrote:Have you got the remastered version, with live tracks?
I've no idea what version I have *here* at the moment. 
I got the vinyl LP back then and listened to it until all the data were scratched out of the grooves.
It's included in the contingent of my favourite records I borrowed to a friend some 11 years ago.. Along with all my Sisters' vinyls.
Thankfully The Unknown is just about everywhere.

Was in Manchester last nite to witness the awesome machine that are Motorhead and the Butlins sing-a-long karaoke that sadly are Saxon.
If there was ever two bands that didn't compliment each other it was these two. Saxon looked like exactly what it said on the tin ; Old, tired and out dated.
Motorhead can never be outdated. Like the Ramones, AC/DC and Iron Maiden they've made a successful career of releasing the same album for over twenty five years, just repackaged and renamed to avoid confusion at the cash register.
When Motorhead kicked off with Iron Fist and the sudden outbreak of some ferocious head banging next to me by a man with no hair and his wife who looked like she had smuggled two Trophy footballs into the show under her distinctly stretched t-shirt, ya just knew it was going to be a good night.
An hour and half later of the same tune over and over again, for some reason I didn't feel cheated even for the £29 it cost me to see Lemmy and his chums. To witness a man on the wrong side of 60 strangle his Rickenbacker into submission whilst a couple of thousand of people young enough to be his kids and even grand children sang along to the song every office worker dons a tie round the head too and air guitars along with ; Ace of Spades, a song the majority of them probably believe Jeremey Clarkson wrote himself.
We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll...
And they deafen the f**k outta of me every time!!
Suck it Eldritch!!

I'm rather fond of Level 42's first album. And Ultravox's. And Vienna for that matter.Quiff Boy wrote:markfiend wrote:I downloaded an Ultravox boot from DimeADozen once, it was the most tedious thing I've ever listened to.

You have failed on so many levels ( pun intended) with this post, Vienna was about a quarter decent,but as for L***L 42, that is just taking the p*ss.

New Europeans stands the test of time for me - it's an awesome track along with Private Lives.eotunun wrote:The Vienna album was nothing less than excelent, man.

Dammit, would you please get out of my head. I was about to post something that said, "In the words of Rigsby's cat, this means nothing to me," but you beat me to the punch.25men wrote:
