"Visions in Blue" is Ultravox's third single from the Quartet album, recorded in Air Studios, London and released on Chrysalis Records on 11 March 1983. The single peaked at #15 in the UK charts on 26 March.[1][2][3] A video was produced, but was banned by the BBC and MTV due to brief nudity; an edited version was later provided for broadcast on Top of the Pops.[3]
The track also appears in live form on the CD version of Ultravox's 1983 in-concert album, Monument. The 12" version of "Visions in Blue" also contains an edited version of the same Monument performance of "Reap the Wild Wind".[3]
