In the early-'80s, Ure was fronting two hit-bound bands: Visage and Ultravox. Visage gets short shrift here, Ultravox invariably, if unfairly, the better represented of the two. In 1981, as both bands' albums and singles swept up the charts, Ure linked up with Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott for yet another hit, \"Yellow Pearl.\" The following year, the new romantic hero launched his solo career with the Top 10 single \"No Regrets.\" By the end of 1982 Ure had departed Visage, but in the New Year he joined forces with Japan's Mick Karn for the \"After a Fashion\" single, another hit. And then, of course, there's \"Do They Know It's Christmas\", co-written by Ure and Bob Geldof, to raise millions for Ethiopian famine relief. 1984 was to be Ultravox's swan song, but Ure re-emerged the next year as a solo artist, with hit following hit into the beginning of the new decade. All of them are here, and for fans, this is a solid set.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50992798957855,"sku":"094632198723","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/6a2d16e4fa11a2bd07d98603d26fcff0_874a79dc-6f96-48ba-8014-a595f287a4f3.jpg?v=1777975731","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/if-i-was-the-very-best-of-midge-ure-ultravox","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
