dbpprop:abstract
  • "Vienna" is Ultravox's third single and the title track from their fourth album. The single was released on Chrysalis Records on 15 January 1981, and is legendary for spending 4 consecutive weeks at #2 in the UK Singles Chart without ever getting to #1. "Vienna" was kept off the UK #1 slot by John Lennon's "Woman" for a week, and then most famously by Joe Dolce's novelty song, "Shaddap You Face", for a further 3 weeks, although "Vienna" did sell more copies than the latter, ranking as the 5th best selling UK single for 1981. It also won single of the year at the UK Brit awards for 1981. It is recognizable for Midge Ure's loud straining vocals. It remains to this date Ultravox's signature song, being their most commercially successful release and is often performed live by Ure on solo performances.

  • Explaining the location details to Jonas Wårstad
  • It may come as a surprise to know that approximately half of it was shot on locations in central London, mainly at Covent Garden and also in the old Kilburn Gaumont Theatre in North London (sadly, now a Bingo hall). The embassy party scene was in some house we’d rented in town. Can’t remember where, but I do remember that it took the crew a long time to set up the lights to prepare for filming. So long that we all got impatient with waiting and dipped into the many cases of wine we’d laid on for refreshment after the shoot. By the time the crew was ready to film, we were all well partying for real. The other half was in Vienna. We did it on the cheap. There was just us and Nick, our trusty camera man. We took an early morning flight to Vienna, ran round like loonies in and out of taxis as we filmed, and soon discovered that, due to it being the winter off-season, many of the splendid places we’d been counting upon filming were either shut for redecorating or covered with webs of scaffolding. “What do you mean it’s ‘closed for repairs’?!” We finished up in the cemetery for the shots with the statue which had been used for the single’s cover (a gentleman who made pianos for the rich and famous of his time, I believe), did the sunset shot, and then dashed back to London to start editing.
