Ultraviolet is the fourth studio album by All About Eve. It was the first (and last) album that the band released with MCA. Despite quite positive reviews at the time this album was a commercial disaster on a grand scale. The album only made it to No. 36 on the UK charts, with the two singles only making No.'s 38 and 57 respectively. Consequently the band were dropped by MCA shortly afterwards. Furthermore the band were not (at the time) able to carry enough of their own fans with the rather psychadelic direction that this album took, and they split up just four months after its release.

Today, however, All About Eve fans consider this to be one of the best albums the band made and copies of it regularly sell on eBay at quite extravagant prices.
