UFO - Im A Loser - Hot n Live
Today I'd like to recommend an excellent release from last year (2013).
Hot n Live The Chrysalis Live Anthology 1974-1983
So why should you buy it?
Well the first reason for me is disc 2 gives you a mostly unreleased set from The Marquee in 1980. Its a good recording of how UFO were still to my mind, delivering killer songs with the much under-rated Paul Chapman on lead guitar. The album of the time was of course the acclaimed, "The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent. Songs such as Chains Chains, Long Gone and Makin Moves really do stand up to comparison with the more established classics included too.
Then of course you have disc 1 featuring Schenker ripping up the lead as only he can. Yeah a lot of these have been released before. But the way the tracks are ordered is well done andshows the progression of UFO and Michael really well. From Give her The Gun through to Aint No Baby plus Pack It Up (and Go) from Obsession.
So two great eras covered and, unlike some other collections, no tracks repeated.

Blinding version of one of my all time favourite UFO songs, after a shaky start MS is on fire and Phil is sounding great - doesn't he always?
