Ultravox – Rage In Eden – CD + DVD

Following on from the success of 2020’s deluxe reissue of ‘Vienna’, Chrysalis Records are proud to release a 40th Anniversary of the bands second album with Midge Ure, ‘Rage In Eden’. Originally released in October 1981 and like the bands previous two albums, it was produced by Conny Plank (Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!), this time recorded at Conny’s studio in Cologne during the summer of ’81.
This new 6 Disc box set contains 52 tracks, with 22 previously unreleased recordings. CD’s 1 to 5 contain the original 1981 album production master, a new stereo mix by Steven Wilson, A-sides, B-sides & live tracks along with previously unreleased cassette rehearsals and a newly mixed concert recorded at Hammersmith Odeon in October 1981. The DVD (Audio Only) contains a new 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of the Album/B-sides by Steven Wilson along with 24/96 Hi-Res audio of the new mixes and the original 1980 Master/B-sides.
The set is packaged in a 12″x12″ Rigid Slipcase and contains a 20 page 12″ square booklet featuring contributions from the band, unseen photos from Midge Ure’s and Chris Cross’ personal collection, reproduction of the Rage In Eden tour programme, 6 discs in card wallets housed in two 12″ gatefold album sleeves.
