ULTRA
Ultra’s archived tracks though have been re-released twice – on Monster Records in 2000 and on Vintage Records in 2007. I picked up the latter collection, called Ultra last year; it features 16 fine tracks that were recorded in 1975-1977.

YouTube has several videos by Ultra; this audio-only recording is of “Mutants”, the opening song on the collection that I have – simply called Ultra: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzblyTnm1Zg . There are also live performances by Ultra: “Mutants” again at Sunken Garden Theatre in San Antonio – www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBlcCH098Tk – and another song (not sure of the name) at Six Flags in Arlington, TX – www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNFm0k_QN1g . Methinks that the studio recordings have been dubbed over the concert performances, but the video footage is nice to watch anyway. At a 2011 reunion concert, Ultra played “Mutants” yet again at Floore’s in Helotes, TX, but this one really is a live recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YjxhBGrpgU .
