During a break with Ultravox and his involvement with Band Aid/ Live Aid, Midge Ure set up a home studio to record ideas, which eventually turned into his debut album. Featuring the UK No.1 single ‘If I Was’, The Gift collects together a series of vocal and instrumental tracks to weave together a classic 80’s album.
This 4CD box set includes a remastered version of the album, along with non-album singles, b-sides, remixes, home recordings and a newly mixed concert from Wembley Arena from 1985.
Format: 4CD Mediabook with a new In Conversation piece conducted by John Earls (Classic Pop, Record Collector) and previously unseen photos.
