Sad to hear of the passing of Chris Cross ( Chris Allen) the bass player from in both versions of Ultravox.
Personally ,I preferred the John Foxx era of the band... but was too young to go before JF left, so only saw the Midge Ura era live in 1980 at Jenkinsons in Brighton.
Here are few tracks from JF era.

And good quality too.
Love these..
Rest in Peace Chris.

New Single from Mistrust
I have a new song out on my Bandcamp page! It’s called “New Chester Road (Revisited)” and is a rework of the song that appeared on my 2023 album “Sunlight”. It’s a bit of a tribute to Chris Cross, the bass player from Ultravox who sadly passed away last month.
