Vienna Box Set

The 1980 Ultravox album "Vienna" album is to be reissued for its 40th anniversary as an extensive 5 CD + 1 DVD box set that includes a plethora of unreleased material and Steven Wilson stereo and 5.1 mixes. Vinyl format also available.

Produced by Conny Plank, the album was the band’s 1st for Chrysalis and the 1st to feature Midge Ure on lead vocals. It originally peaked at # 3 in the UK album chart, with its title track famously thwarted from reaching the top of the singles chart by that song by Joe Dolce. 'All Stood Still', the final of 4 singles followed "Vienna" into the top 10 in June 1981.

The 6 disc box set features 66 tracks, 44 of which are previously unreleased recordings or mixes. It comprises the following:

CD 1 - original 1980 album (newly mastered from production tapes)
CD 2 - new Steven Wilson stereo mix of album and b-sides
CD 3 - a-sides, b-sides, 12" mixes and live tracks
CD 4 - cassette rehearsals
CD 5 - live from St Albans 1980 (newly mixed)
DVD - 5.1 Steven Wilson mix, 24/96 hi-res stereo of new mixes, b-sides

This 5 CD +1 DVD comes packaged in a 12" x 12" rigid slipcase and includes a 20 page large format booklet, featuring notes from the band, unseen photos from Midge Ure’s and Chris Cross' personal collection, 4 A4 art prints.

There is also a half speed mastered 2 LP vinyl set that features the original album on the 1st LP and a bonus LP that includes a pick'n'mix selection of single versions, b-sides and live cuts. It also features a US promo edit of 'Vienna', never commercially released, which is exclusive to this vinyl.

"Vienna" is reissued across all formats on October 9th, 2020.
