Parts 6-10 of Billy's 80:10...
6. UNRELEASED SOLO LP (1983)
Inbetween Ultravox albums, an attempt is made at a
solo album. Billy explains why this does not come to pass.
7. LAMENT (1984)
Another belter of an album is made and tracks such
as Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, Man of Two Worlds and the
wondorous title track are discussed.

8. LIVE AID (1985)
Billy and the boys play Live Aid in what ends up as Warren's last
gig with the band until they reform in the 21st century.
Billy discusses the day, how the stage set-up affects performance and
what he discussed with Bowie on the way out of Wembley stadium.
I forgot to ask how they chose the songs to play. Oh well.
9. U-VOX (1986)
Post-Live Aid and Midge's number one with If I Was (and now minus
Warren), the band get together to make their last LP for 20 years.
Billy discusses the issues surrounding making the album and regrets.
I defend 60% of the album as actually pretty bloody good.
Follow Your Heart is not defended though.
10. TRANSPORTATION (1988)
And finally we have the first Billy Currie solo LP released
(supported by Steve Howe of Yes fame)
