Way way ahead of their time! no one sounds this way in 77! Still amazing… ! John Foxx wrote one of the best lyrics in the history of rock and pop music!
It's ridiculous how underrated this band is. I found them through my brother in the next room. Roxy, Big Youth and then this. Oh i found my music and it was called ULTRAVOX
I listened to it live that night and taped it and had it on my Walkman at school and I'm 59 in July where did the time go great to hear it again and bring back so many memories thanks
Loved the John Foxx led Ultravox! In 1999 I was lucky enough to have been invited onto the bus with John and Louis Gordon for the "Subterranean Tour". The atmosphere, in particular at the Glasgow Barrowlands, Manchester Apollo and Shepherds Bush Empire was more akin to a football crowd. He's loved. Massive cheers met "Just for a Moment", "My Sex" and "The Man Who Dies Everyday". At the end of tour party in West London, John played some of his songs on a piano in the hotel lobby. Extremely talented and genuinely friendly gentleman 🧡
I think it's an RMI organ, he didn't have a polysynth until later. He's doing the solos on the ARP Odyssey and the high sustained string sounds in an Ella, Rhapsody)?).
Here after hearing singer/musician Gary Numan ("Cars") in a number of different interviews where he declares Ultravox's "synth-electronic, pop music" as a big influence in his career.
Yet tons of people say he's a Bowie or Kraftwerk knock-off. Phhht. He never sounded at all like Kraftwerk, and he was a big fan of Bolan, but not Bowie. The Ultravox! influence is pretty clear up through Replicas, after that I no longer hear it.

This is fantastic! Sounds like Vanda and Young, of Flash and The Pan, were listening also. I hear a lot of this style in their debut LP.
Never been anyone like them and never again will we hear such innovative, raw and beautiful music. It's just ridiculous how ground breaking they were

Got the first LP in '79 and love it! Never heard the Peel Sessions until now.. This is outstanding and very refreshing!

I remember taping this off the radio😊😊 all those years ago when I was 15. Now 61 and still love them. 😊

He can play the piano well?
@@rachelar Hi Rachel. Yes, very well.
Concert pianist level I would venture 🧡
Best version of "My Sex", period. Billy's synth is fire! This one should've been the original.

The original line up of Ultravox and the John Peel show. Both huge for me as a kid. Thanks for posting this awesome session 👍
I wonder how many know to whom you're referring with your nickname here.
