Just received my copy of Quartet today! I was one of the lucky 100 to get a numbered clear vinyl version (92 of 100)! Once again Weatherbox / vinyl180.com have outdone themselves. First class heavy stock jacket repeating the matt-shine combo of the original issue front cover art work. As with their first Ultravox re-issue the record is inside a poly-lined paper sleeve and the white 7″ is in a clear vinyl envelope. Also enclosed is a card inner sleeve replicating the original. The clear vinyl is a thing of beauty. A very special re-issue indeed.
@discoadam/Rob Kirby: Wonderful news to hear that, indeed. @trash: controversial artworks in Rage in Eden back in the day is never read to me too.
Yes, I was rather expecting Rage to be next up too :) I think the intention is that all the 80s albums will be done this way.
And Derek, you’re right – that edit of Serenade has never been issued previously, although its certainly been known about before now. I’ve yet to discover which of the four singles eventually took it’s place. My bet is that it was Hymn, as I recall Midge or Chris joking on Radio 1 at the time of its release that Chrysalis thought that, it being called Hymn, the song might do well in the Christmas market!
I have a nice email from vinyl180 confirming that Rage in Eden is indeed in the pipeline for reissue.
Cool – that is good news.
Hopefully it will be the original (controversial) artwork.
Cheers
Am I right in thinking that the edit of Serenade is previously unreleased?
Have to agree with you. Rage in Eden is my favourite of the Midge Ure-era albums.
Ordered Quartet when it was announced – it’s been delayed twice since though.
Seems to be happening a lot lately…
Underrated Rage in Eden deserved deluxe type of marketing better than any other Ultravox album after Vienna.
