Classic hard rock album from UFO.
(This refers to the original album, with 8 cuts. One of the few albums where every single cut is a great song. ) If UFO wasn't at the pinnacle of their talent with this album, they were very close to it. From the title cut to their cover of Love's "Alone Again Or" to one of my favorites, "Try Me", every cut has great riffs. It's hard to do better than this, so it appears they've worked on improving the relatively short length of the original album (36:47) by adding 4 new live songs. .


ufo,s finest studio album lights out remastered finally!!
the lights out line up was the best they ever had no disrespect to paul chapman,i liked the chapman era albums no place to run,wild willing and the innocent,. i still love this album 32 years after it,s release in 1977. . and some of mechanix. lights out is an enjoyable diverse collection of songs. my favorites are too hot to handle,electric phase,lights out,gettin ready and love to love!this line up of ufo created 2 more great albums,obsession and the excellent live strangers in the night!!i wish this line up had continued longer than it did. this album is a must for michael schenker fans and ufo fans!!!.


New to UFO, but old to Iron Maiden
Of course I've heard Lights Out, but had no idea who UFO actually was. I'm a sheltered music lover who had no idea about UFO. On the recommendation of a couple "band friends" I picked up some of their albums. Being a huge Maiden fan, they said I would dig UFO. Although no other band is Maiden, UFO is rock and roll at it's best. No neeed to listen to these new rock and roll bands, because they just wear make up, nail polish, and high fashion clothes, then put out bummer music.
Also seeing the influence from bass player Pete Best to Steve Harris was really amazing. It made me realize that influences are very important, but creating your own style is equally important.
Now when I go to Maiden concerts and they prime the crowd with "Doctor, Doctor" I'll know who the hell the band is.


Time to upgrade
The sound quality is improved, but the extra tracks and extensive liner notes are what make this an absolute steal for the price. I was so impressed with the recent Remaster of Obsession that I decided to replace the old Lights Out CD with this release. There are but a handful of times I felt justified in "making the upgrade" but in this case I wholeheartedly recommend doing so.


Killer!
. The remaster rocks!! The bonus stuff rolls!! It's like listening to this stuff for the first time again only better because you know something great is waiting for you.
