The roots of Chrysalis stretch back to a tiny flat in West London in 1967, when former university social secretaries, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, linked their flair for managing and booking bands to form the Ellis Wright Agency. After trying to release their bands' records via other companies, they decided to start their own label.

In 1968, they signed a licensing deal with Island Records with the proviso that if their acts achieved an agreed number of hits, they would be awarded a label of their own. Within a year, this tally was reached and Chrysalis Records was born.

Over the years, Chrysalis went through various ownership changes. In 1985, Chris Wright bought out Terry Ellis and later sold the label to EMI in 1991. EMI was then acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 before selling the Parlophone Label Group (including Chrysalis) to Warner Music Group in 2013.

Ultravox were a British new wave band formed in London in 1973. They achieved great success between 1980-86, with seven Top Ten albums and seventeen Top 40 singles in the UK. Their most popular hit was "Vienna" in 1981.

The original line-up featured John Foxx on vocals, Billy Currie on keyboards, Warren Cann on drums, Chris Cross on bass, and Stevie Shears on guitar for the first two albums. Robin Simon replaced Shears for their third album. In 1979, Foxx left to pursue solo projects and was replaced by Midge Ure.

This 'classic' 80s line-up recorded numerous hits including "Vienna," "Hymn," and "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes." However, prior to recording their ill-received U-Vox album in May 1986, Cann was asked to leave due to irreconcilable differences with the rest of the band.

Originally released in 1981 Rage In Eden was co produced by Conny Plank in his studio in Cologne Germany. After the heady success of the Vienna album, the bands sound was progressing, a fuller, richer tapestry of synthesizers and piano with Billy Curries dynamic violin always a highlight. Interestingly all the tracks on the album are long, Stranger Within being over 7 minutes and with no instrumentals on the album save for the sequed The Ascent onto Accent On Youth the album is very much a piece of work in its entirety. The depth in the sound is impressive indeed and goes someway to retain its inherent freshness, even today. The album opens with the epic The Voice one of Midge Ure's most impressive vocal performances and sets the tone for the whole album and for all its length the album does have a very good momentum.LP - Pressed on 180 Gram white vinyl with heavyweight sleeve and inner bag, initial pressings feature a bonus 7inch single with Work In Progress mixes of The Thin Wall and Stranger Within.2CD - 8 Panel Digipack. 2008 Remastered Double CD Version. The extra 13 track second CD contains the B-sides from the time, extended versions and Live material from Hammersmith Odeon 1981 and Crystal Palace June 1981.
