Ultravox – Dancing With Tears In My Eyes (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

NEW 2021 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

“Dancing with Tears in My Eyes” is the second single from Lament, Ultravox’s seventh studio album, released in 1984.

The single effectively put Ultravox back on the map, peaking at no. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, and reaching the top 10 in several European countries. The song also entered the Australian and Canadian Top 75 but failed to chart in the US.

The Steve Thompson USA “Extended” Mix is unique to this North American release. The North American release also includes “One Small Day (Club Version)” which had previously been released as the first single from Lament. It peaked at no. 27 in the UK Singles Chart.

The cover states both titles as being “Special Re-Mix”. These mixes do exist, but not on this US release.
