UFO: The Decca Years - Best Of 1970-1973 version on 2CD in Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in Germany in publishing company Repertoire Records on 8. June 2012.

Product information UFO is one of the most controversial British rock bands of the 1970s and beyond. This now long-established band was born in 1969 as Hocus Pocus, but when they changed their name to UFO, they pioneered a new sound that blended space rock with good-time boogie. This double CD set takes us back to the early years when the guys signed with Decca and released their debut album "UFO 1" in 1970, followed by "UFO 2 - Flying - One Hour Space Rock" in 1971 and "UFO Live" in 1972. These provided the source material for the 22 tracks on this essential 'Best Of' collection, along with the A and B sides of a pair of rarities singles - 'Galactic Love' b/w 'Loving Cup' and 'Give Her The Gun' b/w 'Sweet Little Thing'. CD2 contains long versions of 4 great classic UFO tracks. Rock history is made as we hear singer Phil Mogg in fiery form, backed by Mick Bolton (guitar), Pete Way (bass) and Andy Parker (drums). Look out for great performances like "Prince Kajuku", "Galactic Love" and "Give Her The Gun" as well as epic extended arrangements of "Star Storm" and "Flying". UFO went on to even greater things - but this is where it all started and continued. Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by acclaimed 'Record Collector' magazine journalist Michael Heatley. Rezensionen ,,Hypnotische Gitarrenriffs von Mick Bolton, Phil Moggs unverkennbarer Gesang, UFOs ganz eigene Vermengung von Hard-, Boogie- und Space-Rock war nicht nur damals zu Beginn der 70er Jahre einzigartig und innovativ - und ist auch heute noch gut zu hören".

Album spans genres Rock, Hard Rock, Blues Rock and Acid Rock.
