Ultravox - Unsung Songs - Unreleased 1976-79
(Re-)starting a Dave Sez Foxx-era Ultravox megapost, there are a number of early Ultravox tracks that have so far not been formally released :
"TV Orphans"
"I Won't Play Your Game"
"I Came Back Here To Meet You"
- from 1976 RockPop German TV, originally packaged with two tracks from OGWT '78, and so wrongly called "OGWT".
Originally posted by Eddie Duquenne here: http://wwwadnauseam.blogspot.com, wrongly titled "OGWT".
Covers here: http://www.bootlegzone.com/album.php?name=RHCD472335§ion=338
_________________
"Radio Beach"
- from 1979.03.03,04,08 - 3 dates of the 1979 US tour - Boston, Buffalo, Detroit
Radio Beach tracks (and almost all Ultravox!) preserved and re-served (not reserved) from the generous posts of garychching of the late great asfm (always searching for music).blogspot.com. Full versions of each gig available from the archive upon polite request in the comments to this post.

I have arrived on treasure island , brilliant stuff Dave, love the vox early sound with foxx,but also liked the ure era as well, got enough music to listen to now.
ReplyDeleteThank you !!
ReplyDeleteThan.k you. I hope that you post the full gigs
ReplyDeleteA Great Post,I Hope Not The Last Skamanc.
ReplyDeleteThank You.
Encouraged by the appreciation above, I have checked the links in my previous Ultravox! mega-post; most seem to have survived the megaupload massacre, but I wouldn't wait too long in going to get these - most are the only source on the web for the recording. Please thank the original posters without whom you wouldn't have this. This post is dedicated to garychching at the great late Always Searching For Music blog - ta mate! Gary gives useful quality marks on the 1979 tour gigs he has provided; for those less aware of early Ultravox, Tiger Lily (the band's first incarnation during the glam period of 1975) is essential, as are the Stockholm '77, Marquee '78, Boston 79.03.02 and Philadelphia '79 gigs, all originally well-mixed radio broadcasts.
ReplyDeleteI have omitted the 1977.08.27 Reading Festival which, whilst historic, is too bad quality to enjoy. Here ya go:
PART ONE 1975-77
Band: Tiger Lily Label: Gull Year: 1975

The rarest and earliest of all Ultravox bootlegs: RockPop 1976. Thanks to Eddie Doo-Ken, we can enjoy a fledgling Ultravox's live performance in Germany in late 1976 - their oldest recorded gig! And what's more, hold ya hats, it features no less than three tracks (I came back here to meet you, TV Orphan and I won't play your game) which are unreleased. To say that this is a gift from the gods is an understatement, particularly as the source was a German TV broadcast and the sound quality is excellent. So go and say a huge big thanks to Eddie at the link below:

A shorter and lower-quality version of the Marquee '78 gig, known as the "Slow Motion 78" bootleg, mp3 @ 192, a lower-quality version of the classic Stockholm gig and an alternative version of the Peel session are kindly offered by the great Sharity here: http://www.eggcityradio.com/?p=74.

garychching also kindly gave us an excellent 'Ultravox!' fanzine called 'Ultravox Past, Present and Future' from the classic magazine 'In The City'. The fanzine includes lyrics from their earlier music, interviews and also a short story written by John Foxx.

According to "London Live" which lists all Marquee gigs from April 1962 to 31 December 1979 Ultravox played there 19 times between 25 February 1977 and 26 December 1978. Is it possible that this is one of the gigs from August '78 when they played 4 days in a row leading up to the Reading Festival?
DeleteThanks anyway, looking forward to listening to these shows.

1979.03.03 Paradise Theatre, Boston
The second night at the Paradise Theatre in Boston. Not the same quality as the previous radio recording but
contains the first airing and recording of the song "Radio Beach" (which I don't think is available on any studio
recording - anyone?). This version is a little ramshackle but if you do like it, there's a better version below.
1. The Man Who Dies Everyday

1979.03.08 Detroit Michigan + KROQ Interview 16/03/79
Again the Ultravox Spring 1979 American tour, including a radio interview with the band. Not one of the best
recordings but it's definitely listenable. The interview starts very quiet (even the DJ says so), so stick with it.

PART FOUR - Foxx solo
ReplyDeleteJohn Foxx BBC Sessions - sound quality is 'A'. This is a bootleg which unfortunately tells us diddly squat about the dates, what session - but it wasn't Peel:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/artists/j/. Quirks ends abruptly but it also did on the live Ultravox 7in, and I think that this version is the same as that single. Mp3 audio source: silver cd (bootleg), covers created by whoever did the bootleg.
01 Hiroshima Mon Amour
02 Shadow Of Your Smile
03 Twilight's Last Gleaming
04 Morning Glory
05 In Mysterious Ways
06 Hanging In the Air
07 Music From Video Game
08 Quirks (Abrupt Ending)
http://www.mediafire.com/?onwnmj3yzqz
.............................................
Cheers, Dave Sez.
According to "In Session Tonight" John Foxx only did one Radio 1 session and that was for Janice Long on 20 June 1985 and none of the tracks are on this! So who knows where this originates from!
DeleteThanks anyway.
Many thanks, Chelsea supporter, for the info - a real mystery, eh? Cheers, Dave Sez.
DeleteMe again, and Chelsea supporters question got me to searching my hard discs again. Apologies to louissyfer for not mentioning it in the post above, but this Foxx BBC sessions came from him, as do three other Foxx rarities - check'em out here:
Deletehttp://symphonyofghosts.blogspot.com/search/label/John%20Foxx
And lieutenant030 commented on the original Foxx BBC post:
The first 3 tracks are from the UK BBC Saturday Live radio programme from December 1983 (as marked on my cassette recorded at the time) and the second 3 tracks are from the same BBC programme dated September 1985.
John Foxx did the music for 'Speedball' and 'Gods' video games (amiga/atari) in the early 90s.
Quirks is probably a live recording with Ultravox or from the free 7" with Ha! Ha! Ha!.
John Foxx did another session for Janice long in July 1985 which I have, but is not as good quality as the above as it is an AM radio recording.
Cheers, Dave Sez.
mate this amazing stuff, thanx to you skamanc, and the original poster garychching for all these quailty posts, i really do appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the crocodiles are feeding ...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most popular of my megaposts kindly hosted by skamanc - nearly 300 downloads ... hoping someone is still into Ultravox but is just being very quiet, here's the first of two dates at kant kino (the later one is listed above) and a recent repost of the Reading Festival - not d'loaded it yet but I expect it to be of as poor quality as all the other versions I've heard. Still, you never know ... cheers, Dave Sez.

More exciting arrivals! Adrian of the Stranglers blog (and more) has kindly put up a 1979 American gig which hasn't surfaced before to my knowledge. It's a pretty good audience recording of the last gig that Foxx did with Ultravox during their ill-fated first American tour. Go thank the man here:

Hey, thank you for sharing these tapes! I'm just going through them now, and it seems the Detroit 78 track 8 file is "set to private" on mediafire. It would be great if you could reset it so it is downloadable. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese two links are both "set as private" on mediafire so we cant download them.
ReplyDeleteBoth are

It's the track 8 repost from Detroit and the track 1 repost from Buffalo.
I have a hard time expressing in anonymous text on the internet how appreciated a repost/reflagging of these files would be.
Thanx for everything.
kind regards

This fallacy has to stop. Maybe it was the last *recorded* gig Foxx did, but they played 3 more shows after this one - 2 more at The Whisky (*not* "Whiskey") A-Go-Go on March 16th and 17th and then THE final gig at The Fleetwood in nearby Redondo Beach on March 20th, supported by The Zippers and The Kats:

Found this googling John Foxx 5 CD box set. Cool stuff.
