"The Thin Wall" is Ultravox's first single from the Rage in Eden album, recorded in Conny Plank's Studio in Cologne, Germany and released on Chrysalis Records on 14 August 1981.[1][2]

The music video, directed by Russell Mulcahy, features Midge Ure struggling to cope among strange and nightmarish imagery, similar to a haunted house setting, while the other band members seemingly plot his demise.

It peaked at #14 in the UK Single Charts.[3]
