Ultravox / The Collection deluxe edition 4CD+2xBlu-ray

Ultravox’s classic 1984 compilation The Collection has been massively expanded and will be released in December as a 4CD + 2 x Blu-ray deluxe edition.

The Collection featured the 14 singles Ultravox released between 1980 and 1984 and sold over two million copies worldwide, going triple platinum in the UK. It includes hits such as ‘Vienna’, ‘All Stood Still’, ‘The Voice, ‘Dancing With Tears In My Eyes’ and what at the time was a brand new single ‘Love’s Great Adventure ‘ (recorded specifically for The Collection).

This newly remastered compilation includes a remastered version of the original compilation and adds The Collection II with a further 14 singles, alternative and unreleased versions from 1986 to 2024; The Remixes which features newly created 80s-style extended mixes by the likes of Midge Ure, Steven Wilson, Blank & Jones; and a disc of B-sides collected together for the first time.

The two blu-rays are packed, offering over four hours of footage between them, including 27 promo videos, Top of the Pops appearances, live performances and more.

The Collection Deluxe Edition is limited to 5,000 units worldwide and comes in a large format 12-inch box with rigid-board slipcase and two 20-page booklets, with lyrics and photos.

Other formats include a 4LP deluxe pressed on clear vinyl which features audio from the first two CDs in the box set over eight sides of vinyl. It is housed in a die-cut sleeve with interchangeable images within a four-page insert. There’s also a 2LP half-speed edition on black vinyl (original 14 tracks) and a single CD version with 19 tracks.

The Ultravox Official Store has exclusives bundles and The Collection reissue is out on 5 December 2025, via Chrysalis.
