Midge Ure - No Regrets

Back


In stereo: Midge Ure - No Regrets. Released in June 1982 as a first solo single, a cover of the classic Walker Brothers song. Later Midge worked again with Ultravox to release the album "Quartet". I noticed this video was not yet or no longer on YouTube, so I decided to upload my version. This is the original music video, but with a new stereo audio track. The original video had a very poor quality mono audio track...

I was a teen when this came out. I absolutely loved it. My dad went on about the Walker Bros version being so much better and I thought, "typical, you bald, irrelevant old fart - Midge's version is the ultimate". Now my dad's dead and I check out a lot of covers on YouTube and generally end up dissing them - and I'm going bald into the bargain. The 'auld lad's got his revenge.... Φ.Φ .Ü. Thanks foxhusky for posting this wonderful song. ♪♫♪♫♪♪♫♫♪

Yeah well Midge is now old. So old is best! Walker version was goon in its post war dayz... The 70's/80's is what counts. You dont hear people covering glen miller these days, just about all the 70's and 80's is being done...

Very true, Cougari72 - though at the time, I would never would have believed it would happen. Artists didn't seem so into doing cover versions in those days. True, they did the odd one, but covers were widely dismissed as being somewhat uncreative. I think that's why this particular song by Midge was forgotten about for a while. So it's really good to hear it again!

You hit the nail on the head!

well, listen to the Midge Ure live version then. He's done a respectable version of the original. Thats seldom done...

Just saw Midge Ure on loose women, and thought well i remember vienna by ultravox, must have a look at what midge is doing now, and i am really into him, he has a beautiful voice. He is one of my favourites now. He said he has some music coming out, so am looking out for that.

I read about this in Midge's book "If I Was" (excellent BTW). He says he got 2 days of studio time for helping someone out, decided to record this, and mistakenly thought the Walker Brothers version had the big ending. Tells his manager he was "just messing about" - manager immediately jumps in a cab to Soho, sells the recording to Chrysalis for £5,000. Just like that!

an absolute classic reworked very well indeed ,but a singer the quality of midge ure could make anything sound good
