Metamatic Forums John Foxx Ultravox Ultrabox - The Albums: 1980 - 2012

Anyone know anything about this? Just spotted it a minute ago:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Albums-1980-...85M01TNZ7RPBPQT

.

It's a nine disc set containing all six of the recently remastered core Ultravox albums (Vienna, Rage In Eden, Quartet, Monument - The Soundtrack, Lament and U-VOX), together with both discs from Return To Eden and their last album, Brilliant. All of the discs are presented in cardboard mini-album sleeves, which are then held in a card clamshell box.

It's currently (21.10.2013) £25.50 from Amazon, but only £17.99 from Sainsbury's.

Cheers Rob - I'm guessing you didn't have a hand in this as there's a few typos 'Return IN Eden' - mind you, the back of the box artwork square for said album also looks like it says 'Return In Eden'

No, you're quite right - we (Myself, Cerise and Paul) didn't have any part in this collection.

Rob

Thought so!

There is a thread about this over at EV

There are no extras from the last bunch of releases.

I don't see the appeal of this box unless you are starting from scratch.

It's difficult to see who this set is being aimed at - the completist, or someone who's never previously bought any of their albums.

Rob

I know they're touring soon but can't see that adding to sales - I guess it's just a 'xmas prezzie for dad' type of thing.
