5.0 out of 5 stars 'Lights Out' w/ 'extra live tracks', August 19, 2008

By	KL - See all my reviews

I purchased this because it has been remasterd as well as 4 added 'live' tracks. This CD is worth the price just for the live version of the song 'Lights Out'!! It is the exact same performance of the video clip that`s on the UFO DVD 'Too Hot to Handle'--that live video clip gives you an visual and audio appreciation of how good UFO and Michael Schenker were live back in the late 70`s and it is a GREAT performance!! And the exact same audio clip that`s included on this CD is audibly even better--the overpowered Marshall amp that Michael Schenker is using will 'explode' thru your speakers and you will hear the subtle use of his 'wah wah' pedal during his first solo [which he absloutely 'rips'!!] as well as the following 'chorus' etc!! And most likely, once you hear it, you will use the 'repeat' function on your CD player!

So if you are a fan of UFO and a fan of Micheal Schenker then buy this CD as there are some great 'studio songs' on it that demonstrate the creativity and different styles of this talented band along with the addition of the 4 'live' tracks that gives you some great 'live' UFO!! And as I already wrote, the 'live' version of 'Lights Out' is 'blistering' esp. the 2 guitar solos by Schenker!

BTW 'You Tube' has the video clip of this live 'Lights Out' performance so check it out if you haven`t yet seen it as I feel it is Michael Schenker and UFO at their very best! Also it is part of the UFO DVD 'Too Hot to Handle' which is also a 'must own' to any UFO fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars worth it for the exra live tracks, July 10, 2008

By	Woodrow (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

The UFO catalog has been put out on CD so many times. This is the 3rd time I've bought this album (LP, CD and now this remaster) but they finally got it right. It sounds great and the booklet has lots of great photos.

There are 4 great live bonus tracks from the Roundhouse, 1976. I have the "On With The Action" live CD that's also from the same venue, same year but none of the tracks overlap which is nice. Hopefully they'll put that show out in it's entirety (it has Schenker playing "Boogie For George").

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep on releasing the UFO catalogue EMI !, July 12, 2008

I was looking forward to this , and although the bonus tracks are live at least two of them are songs we never heard live (release wise). Gettin' Ready is probably my favorite song on the album , next to Just Another Suicide. So it is a treat to hear it live . I never have been able to see them live ( I was only Seven when lights out was released). If EMI
decides to release the "Paul Chapman" era albums as well , I will definitely purchase them.
