Planned for an early October release, the original 1980 compilation LP from Ultravox titled 'Three Into One'. This collection from the John Foxx fronted late 70's incarnation of the band was originally released when Ultravox hit big in 1980 with new vocalist Midge Ure after barely missing the UK top singles spot with Vienna. The original Ultravox may not have had the chart success they deserved, but their influence is highly recognized today by fans and artists of electronic music.

Freshly remastered from original master tapes, 'Three Into One' explores Ultravox as they transition from aggressive punk influences in singles like Young Savage & ROckWrok, to the artistic leanings of The Wild, The Beautiful and the Damned & My Sex, to the pioneering electronics on the singles Slow Motion & Quiet Men. the LP will come in two different color variations each limited to 500 copies each.

Side 1:
Young Savage
ROckWrok
Dangerous Rhythm
The Man Who Dies Everyday
The Wild, The Beautiful And The Damned

Side 2:
Slow Motion
Just For A Moment
Quiet Men (Full Version)
My Sex
Hiroshima Mon Amour

Scott strikes again!
Congratulations Rubellan remasters!

Not intentionally, it's just the clearances they've been sending my way. I suspect it's because it's quicker to clear a straight LP rather than a CD with bonus tracks. I would have been open to a CD reissue of Three Into One if there were something rare I could have added as bonus content. I found about 10 album outtakes from the Foxx era Ultravox on the master tape list but when I checked with Foxx management they said that neither John nor some of the other band members wanted those outtakes released. So without anything not part of that last Foxx Vox Box, I don't see a point in just another compilation CD.

I do still have a load of CD reissue requests in and hope that something will eventually be sent my way. I'm aware that a number are in the final clearance queue, and have been since about early February. I just have no idea when any of them will be addressed, and it's very rare that an inquiry (of any sort) is responded to.
