Extended Ultravox is an Ultravox compilation of 12" extended versions of various Ultravox singles from the years 1980–1986 (the period with Midge Ure as frontman). The album was released in 1998.
The tracks on the discs are all extended mixes of Ultravox singles, available on their respective 12" versions. The notable exception to this is "Serenade" – a non-single track from Quartet. The "special re-mix" of this track was previously available on a remix LP available with limited copies of The Collection in 1984.

The Island Years is a compilation by Ultravox, released in 1999 by PolyGram and Spectrum labels. It contains songs from their three first albums (Ultravox!, Ha! Ha! Ha! and Systems of Romance), when John Foxx was the group's vocalist and frontman, and another two guitarists, Stevie Shears and Robin Simon were with them (although not at the same time). The album is a compilation of the band's early years, before Midge Ure became a member, and the band scored a number of hits in the 1980s.

Misdemeanor is the twelfth studio album by the British hard rock band UFO. After the disastrous tour supporting Making Contact, UFO disbanded, with Phil Mogg spending time in Los Angeles, where he contacted through Mike Varney guitarist Atomik Tommy M. Mogg decided to start a new band, involving the new American guitarist and Paul Gray, who had played bass guitar in the last UFO tour.

Несмотря на то, что альбом занял 8 место в британском чарте, музыканты были не очень довольны записью. В частности Питу Уэю не нравилось большое число клавишных на альбоме. Это стало одной из причин его ухода из UFO.

The album is notable and I think it’s even better than their 1992 debut. It’s full of hardrockin’ anthems in the vein of TREAT, GOTTHARD, PRETTY MAIDS and PINK CREAM 69, so you understand what I am talking about. The guitars are ‘suffering’ under passionate riffing and the rhythm section is hammering where needed. The vocals are passionate and very clean but with a rockin’ timbre. The songwriting is immense with big couple parts and huge choruses, even with the absence of keyboards. There are a couple of ballads as it usually happens to mellow things down, but as a whole, the disc is energetic and avid. Fans of melodic Rock will find enough moments to cherish in this CD but friends of Hard Rock music shall devour this disc in ease too.
