Not to be confused with the 1999 collection of the same title, this version of The Island Years repackages Ultravox's first three albums together with an assortment of rarities. Featuring remastered versions of their 1977 self-titled debut, follow up ha! ha! ha!, and 1978's Systems of Romance, the package serves as the perfect introduction in to the John Foxx years, when Ultravox moved from punk upstarts to new wave synth-pop pioneers.
