Iconic hard rockers UFO 1977’s album, “Lights Out“, is being reissued in a 2-disc Deluxe Edition, freshly remastered 2024. The recording is seen as UFO’s breakthrough record and was the group’s highest-charting album in the US, reaching number 23 on the Billboard 200. It was released in May 1977.
”Lights Out” featured orchestral arrangements and a new line-up – Paul Raymond (keyboards and guitar) replaced keyboard player, Danny Peyronel – and was the first UFO album to be produced by Ron Nevison, who worked with Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin.
The title track of the album was inspired by the Notting Hill riots of 1976 and the record closes with ‘Love to Love’, which Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris has said is his favorite song of all time.
This 2024 remastered reissue sounds fabulous, and comes with three bonus tracks on CD 1, including a previously unreleased rough acoustic take of the song by Love, ‘Alone Again Or’, as well as an edit of ‘Too Hot To Handle’ and the seven-inch version of ‘Try Me.’
CD 2 feature a newly-mixed recording of the first show on the Lights Out Tour at The Roundhouse, London, on 2 April 1977. The new mix of the concert is by Richard Whittaker and the album has been remastered from the original tape transfers by Rock Candy’s resident engineer Andy Pearce.
