Product Description

Classic Rock - July 2011 - 7/10

"An extraordinarily complete collection of Brit metal's near forgotten overlords. Not just proof that, at their peak, here was one of the all-time great live British bands, but also what fantastic songs they stockpiled through the course of the five albums they released on Chrysalis."

Format:Audio CD
Having all of UFO's original Vinyl lp's, first generation CD's, compilations, remasterd editions of CD releases with extras and recently re-released double vinyl (with extras) I wasn't going to bother with this.

BUT!!!!!

Apart from having all the 1970's Michael Schenker output on 5 compact discs and a few extra rarities including the first American concert and seeing it was going for a laughable 12 notes I couldn't resist. I'm glad as I am on disc 4 since coming back from work and been listening to this most of the night.

The sound is superb (even with one speaker down!) The version of 'Lights Out' from the legendary John Peel's session from summer 1977 is the best I have heard. This set is superbly and economically packaged, has a booklet with a Sir Philip Of Mogg interview and has disc reproductions of the green and later blue and white chrysalis labels of the 1970's.

Amazon delivered this for free within 3 working days as well so I cannot recommend this enough. Either for current 'Space Cadets' or 'curious musicos' willing to give the most under appreciated rock band ever a spin and have their lives changed as mine was as a 14 year old in 1979 hearing 'Strangers In The Night' for the first time.

For Gods sake buy a copy, hell, buy 10 and give one to a friend. 100 % Platinum stuff for an insane price.

Unbelievably this band are due to go into the studios and make a new record for release in early 2012 ( Vinnie Moore now on guitar and minus basist Pete way - last 3 albums with Vinnie brilliant !) so keep an eye out for that too. As the great man himself would say -'Keep On Rockin'

Moonking.

ON WITH THE ACTION 12 July 2011
By Paul M VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This fantastic set has it all, Six complete albums [including the live stunner, Strangers in the Night], an unreleased live show from 1974,radio sessions, single edits, and basically five discs of prime British rock. This is the best way to get into UFO in one easy hit and at a price that is affordable [ 10 years ago this collection would have set you back around 30 quid!].

UFO are sometimes overlooked as rock music fought its rearguard action against punk before the NWOBHM reinforcements arrived, but their willingness to rise to the challenge ensured a constant stream of hit albums and sold out tours.When the band get into their stride they were a force to be reckoned with [ Just listen to the amazing session version of Too Hot to Handle, or the live version of Rock Bottom, to hear just how good UFO could be in their prime], but this whole set is littered with rock gems, driven along by Phil Moggs distinctive voice and a young Michael Schenker, [ before he jumped ship].A booklet with a new interview with Mogg, and some pictures just adds to the value of this package.

As a reminder of just how good UFO were, The Chrysalis Years does its job brilliantly, and is a stunning way to tempt the punter to finally put away the vinyl albums and revisit a great British rock band at the peak of their success.

The value of this set obviously cannot be faulted. All the albums from UFO's most successful, and probably highest-quality period for a little over a tenner is remarkable. Read more
