UFO - Headstone (1983) (11-track Remaster Edit)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Digitally remastered and updated edition of this 1983 release from the Hard Rock pioneers. The original Headstone album, released when the band initially split, featured studio tracks from UFO and side projects plus five previously unreleased live cuts. This updated edition takes only those five live recordings from the original album and adds six more scorching performances from that same 'farewell' show, making Headstone a purely live experience. UFO are one of the UK's most prolific and influential rock bands - their musical influence can be seen across a host of modern Metal groups and during the course of nearly four decades they have built up an extremely loyal and dedicated fan base. 11 tracks. EMI.

2009 issue UK 11-track digitally remastered CD album - Taken from the Hammersmith Odeon leg of their 1983 'farewell' tour, tracks 1-5 originally featured in a Chrysalis compilation and are presented here for the first time on CD, finally reunited with 6 Bonus Recordings 'Long Gone', 'Chains Chains', 'Lonely Heart', 'Blinded By A Lie', 'No Place To Run' & 'Mystery Train'
[taken from the same show which are previously unreleased on any format])

By the early to mid-'80s, it was quite clear that while UFO retained a sizable fanbase from their late-'70s peak, any hopes of becoming a world-wide dominating force (ŕ la such then chart-dominating UFO disciples as Def Leppard and Iron Maiden) were nil. However, this didn't stop the lads from putting on worthwhile shows and releasing albums (albeit of the spotty variety), and it's this era that is showcased on 2009's Headstone. Comprised of a 1983 live recording from the Hammersmith in London, this set forgoes all the expected UFO classics (no "Doctor Doctor," "Rock Bottom," or "Lights Out" here, folks), and in its place are a helping of UFO tracks almost all from early-'80s albums -- that have all pretty much been forgotten. And despite featuring not the most renowned UFO lineup, ever -- only original members Phil Mogg (vocals) and Andy Parker (drums) are present, joined by Phil Chapman (guitar), Neil Carter (rhythm guitar/keyboards), and Paul Gray (bass) -- Headstone will turn out to be a pleasant surprise for longtime UFO fanatics. The reason being that while quite a few of these tracks fell flat as studio versions, they certainly improved on the concert stage, as the performance is inspired throughout. "We Belong to the Night," "Let It Rain," and "No Place to Run" may not be included on many UFO "best-of" collections, but when you add it all up, Headstone is one of the more surprisingly strong UFO live albums to have reared its head (of which there have been an overabundance over the years)...G.

Definitly a great cd to add to your UFO collection , contains live recording from the making contact tour. It was originally released in vinyl in 1983 as a swan song for the band containing best of as well as family, friends tracks (Scorpions , Whitesnake Etc....) on sides 1-3 , with side four containing 5 live tracks from this recording. Now this is only the live show with 6 more songs added, very good recording and great performance from the band we grew to love...L. Crown
