Description

Ha!-Ha!-Ha! was the second album by British pop group Ultravox, at that time known as Ultravox!, with an exclamation mark, as a nod to Neu!. Although the group would later achieve fame and commercial success with lead singer Midge Ure the band was, in 1977, led by singer/songwriter John Foxx who was accompanied by guitarist Stevie Shears, drummer Warren Cann, bassist Chris Cross and keyboard/violinist Billy Currie.

Ha!-Ha!-Ha! was released on 14 October 1977, and was accompanied by lead single ROckwrok backed with Hiroshima Mon Amour, which was released eleven days earlier. Neither reached the pop charts, although Island Records continued to have faith in the band. As a consequence of the albums confusing typography it is variously known as Ha!-Ha!-Ha!, Ha! Ha! Ha! and -ha!-ha!-ha!, the group decided to abandon their exclamation mark for subsequent releases.
