UFO - Force It

Gatefold double LP newly remastered!

Includes the Record Plant Live set plus "A Million Miles," formerly unavailable on vinyl!

Deluxe digitally remastered and expanded edition includes the Record Plant live set and bonus track "A Million Miles." Originally released in 1975, Force It is UFO's fourth studio album. Produced by Ten Years After's Leo Lyons, it was their first album to chart in the U.S. and enabled the band to kick up a rockier gear. Containing many classic tracks still in their live set today, such as "Shoot Shoot" and "Let It Roll," this newly remastered 2LP gatefold deluxe version includes the Record Plant live set and bonus track "A Million Miles" which were previously unavailable on vinyl.

The somewhat controversial original cover was designed by Hipgnosis (the British design firm whose high-concept album cover art for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and others redefined rock marketing), as were almost all other UFO albums of the 1970s.

For years, the genders of the couple in the bath were unknown, and the nudity was on the verge of decency standards. The models were actually Genesis P-Orridge and girlfriend Cosey Fanni Tutti, both later of the band Throbbing Gristle. The artwork was softened for the initial US release, making the couple in the bathtub transparent. The cover is a pun — there are multiple taps (British English) or "faucets" (U.S. English) in the picture, which is a pun in the album's title.
