You're right Martin, we have the stuff, and I'm glad about this . But there could be done much more of the sound if it would be remastered.
If I listen to the live version of I Can't Stay Long from Humania or the Peel session, I can imagine how fantastic a cleaned recording of these boots can sounding like. Many of the sound gone lost between the hiss. It is worth to be remastered.
As for the marketing plan I think , it would be the same for the artists as they had released all the Island remasters. I remember we all never had thought this would be happen one day. It would only be the 4th CD in the set.
So if Gary Numan had done it - why not this stuff of Ultravox? At least there is not a must to buy it, but I would love to have a copy. And I'm not alone, I think...
