UFO: All the Hits & More

I recently listened to one of U UFO s most highly rated albums with Michael Schenker on guitar, the general concensus on Amazon was that it was far superior to the band s other work and as I didn t think a great deal to it, I almost gave up on the band altogether, just to check I wasn t missing out, I decided to give "All the Hits & More: the early years" a go, an album that is not even for sale in the UK for another 3 weeks despite being released last year in the USA.
