Four singles, "Reap the Wild Wind", "Hymn", "Visions in Blue" and "We Came to Dance", were released from the album, all of which reached the UK Top 20. The album was also released as a marble picture disc LP, a cassette and, in 1983, a CD. [10] The band promoted the album with their "Monument Tour" in late 1982, one of the shows from which was recorded and released as an album and video in 1983. Then, there was the UK clear vinyl 12" version Ultravox - We Came To Dance which does have the fuller 7:58 version (as does the German 12")Ultravox returned to performing live with their Return to Eden II tour in Europe during 2010. In August they played four shows in Sweden together with Howard Jones and Alphaville. It was on this tour the band members decided that they should record some new material again. There is a 'kind of' live version of Serenade on YouTube, it's from a TV show and is live vocals over the album recording music, i think the program was called 'Getting set' or something like that. the new technology. Bythe time Martin had finished, guitars were to the fore. Similarly, the collection of early monitor mixes find Ultravox in far more muscular form than the finished result. A new line-up, led by Currie, was formed in 1992, but achieved limited success with two albums failing to chart and one solitary single reaching 90 in the UK chart. The band's best-known line-up of Currie, Ure, bassist Chris Cross and drummer Warren Cann re-formed in 2008 and performed a series of shows in 2009 and 2010 before releasing a new studio album, Brill!ant, in May 2012 which reached 21 in the British Album Charts. In November 2013, Ultravox performed as special guests on a four-date UK arena tour with Simple Minds. These shows proved to be Ultravox's last, as in 2017 both Currie and Ure indicated that Ultravox had run its course. Not at Hammersmith in '82 at any rate. I can't recall Serenade ever being played live (could be wrong) and WCTD wasn't a live staple until Set Movements in '84.

Also....Monument is from several different nights' recordings so some of the Monument performances appear on this release. See if you can work out which ones! That's a different clip though! Yes they sound like live vocals but the other clip is definitely mimed.

By this time, Billy Currie had been recruited by the rising star Gary Numan in 1979 to do a performance at The Old Grey Whistle Test show with his band Tubeway Army. Numan had been a fan of Ultravox and Currie was also asked to play on Numan's début solo album, The Pleasure Principle, and its subsequent tour. Warren Cann went to work for Zaine Griff, while Chris Cross did some shows with James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) and Barrie Masters (from Eddie and the Hot Rods). These albums had little commercial success and the band dissolved again in 1996. Currie said 2006 about the attempt to continue Ultravox: "It wasn't a good idea but, in retrospect, it's always easy to say that."
