This reissue is what re-masters are all about. While the original master of UFO's HEAVY PETTING buried the quintet's sonic attack in a muddy mix, this one rediscovers their power and mints the band as a crucial link between early-`70s blues-based hard rock and late-`70s British heavy metal. Every track sounds exhilarating here--including the way-over-the-top electric harpsichord on "Belladonna"--and will rekindle any rock fan's love for these under-appreciated shredders. This reissue includes five previously unreleased tracks, all worth the price of admission for longtime fans.
Reviews
Record Collector (magazine) (pp.96-97) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "NO HEAVY PETTING pushed the sound further, adding subtlety to the testosterone-soaked rock with beautifully understated ballads..."
