This collection is the best ultravox collection for the simple reason that it has 18 songs, 17 of which are solid cuts. Sweet surrender could have been replaced by songs like " A freind i call desire" " New european"
"The song We go" or building which is the B side to dancing with tears in my eyes, but in my humble opinion is a beutifully haunting song. This album includes 5 songs from quartet, the 4 singles and 'mine for life which is a great song. It should have also included se stand alone from their second Album (Midge ure era) and a couple more tracks from the album lament. there are 2 larger collections out there with 30 songs on 2 cd's,Finest and Gold collection,
but they included many B sides instead of solid album tracks even though the record company released 2 separate albums devoted to B sides and alternative versions. This is the one to have if you just want one Ultravox collection. hard core fans like myself would prefer a double cd with at least 36 album tracks with some of the songs I mentioned above and several more songs worthy to be on a more comprehensive best of collection.
