Legends UFO continue with their awesome reissue campaign this 2024, now with the upcoming Deluxe Edition of their seventh album ”Obsession”. The 1978 album was the last to feature Michael Schenker, until his return to the band in the ’90s. For this re-release the album has been newly mastered from the original production tapes transfers (at AIR Mastering).
Both 2CD and 3LP vinyl editions offer a previously unreleased 2024 Mix of ”Live at The Agora Ballroom, Cleveland” which originally featured within the classic Strangers In The Night live album. This has been newly mixed by engineer Brian Kehew, from the original multi-track tapes. The sound quality is impressive.
”Obsession” is the last Seventies UFO album with Michael Schenker… but what a great way to say ‘hasta la vista baby’.
When the band’s previous album ‘Lights Out’ secured a top 30 placing in the American album charts, and world tours sold out as fast as tickets could be put on sale, the band’s future was assured. Capitalising on their new found success, the band relocated to Los Angeles and set about recording ”Obsession’ with (once again) talented producer Ron Nevison and engineer Mike Clink (a man who would later harness the filth and fury of Guns ”N Roses) at the helm.
This richly crafted record once again demonstrated the band’s unique ability to fuse intense hard rock with elements of an altogether more cerebral nature. Many cite ”Obsession” as the pinnacle of the band’s creative prowess; rounded, complete and universally praised.
