Midge Ure has hand signed the front cover of the Ultravox LP “Lament” – a rare signature in black ink. Lament is an album by Ultravox, released in 1984. This was the seventh full album and the fourth of the band’s most-recognisable incarnation, fronted by Midge Ure. It was also the last album featuring original drummer Warren Cann. The album peaked at no.8 on the UK album chart and was certified Gold by the BPI in June 1984 for 100,000 copies sold. It also reached #25 in Germany and #115 in the United States. The album’s sound saw the band continuing to move away from the synthpop style associated with their previous albums, heading into a more mainstream pop/rock direction, not entirely dissimilar to contemporaries such as Simple Minds and U2 featuring greater use of guitar and ‘stadium’ reverb.
