| John Foxx - Ultravox! |
| Artistic, stylish and very Joan Of Arc even here in 1976. John Foxx was more a model punk than the catalogue dummys of the time. He had that air of intellectualism about him that added to some great themes running through his songs and also stumped us along the way? His Ultravox! period was pure sci-fi surfing on a arty punk soundtrack. He was one of those lyricists that was never gonna be sung on the back seat of a bus on a Friday night. But 'Young Savage' got that punk rush excelleration going, along with all the best yob anthems of the time. This austere snap in singed shirt and ripped suit is taken from the back of their debut album 'Ultravox!' released on Island records back in 1976.
