Peel came away impressed by Ultravox's performance at the 1977 Reading Festival, writing in Sounds (1977-09-10, later republished in Olivetti Chronicles): "Here is another band which has improved considerably in recent months, and their set was of a very high quality; tight, concise and exciting ... So I liked Ultravox." After Peel's death, a total of 12 Ultravox albums were found in his record collection, including releases from the commercially successful years with Midge Ure.
