"All Stood Still" is Ultravox's fourth and final single from Vienna, the band's first album with Midge Ure, released on Chrysalis Records on 29 May 1981.[1]

The single, on the back of "Vienna"'s success, hit No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart, giving Ultravox their second top-ten hit.[2]

The B-sides are two original instrumentals. "Keep Torque-ing" is listed on the Rare, Vol. 1 compilation as "Keep Talking"; it is generally accepted that the latter was the correct name for the track. This track was a cassette recording during rehearsals.[3]
