  Album Description

   I have the original “headstone” and it has more studio tracks from ufo related bands and half of the live show featured on this version. So this version adds five more live tracks from the 1983 show which sound great. Thankfully the band reformed a few years later; which is why the “headstone” album cover hand is not carving a date into the headstone on the cover. Ufo lives on and that is a great thing, and no there’s tons of great live shows from their career; and this is a good one to own. The songs are mainly from their ‘making contact’ era with a few songs from earlier albums. ‘electric phase” and ‘no place to run” (recorded 1979 released 1980) and ‘mystery train” are all from the seventies era and sound great when played by the then current 1983 lineup. If you enjoy hard rock live then this is a good one to get however I would start with the universally critically acclaimed 1978 release ‘strangers in the night” first and then grab this one.

   If you are a fan of the Paul Chapman era UFO studio albums, then you are going to love this live recording. Mine has a release date of 2009 and is a remaster.
   
   P.S. (Warning)
   
   Make sure you buy “NEW”… The NEW version of HEADSTONE, with only live tracks from UFO’s farewell show at Hammersmith in England. Not the old version which has only a smaller part of that show and a bunch of other stuff on it which can be purchased separately. The new version is actually released by Chrysalis!

   I can only chime into say that this cd is truly phenomenal…the band is firing on ALL cylinders, and this is a definite companion piece to the Strangers lp. Also check on the whole BBC show from 1980 also available from Amazon mp3, a complete show with Schenker classics.

   Couldn’t be happier that EMI decided to ditch the redundant “friends and relations” concept of the original “Headstone” in favor of this all live disc. Spectacular playing by Paul Chapman- one of his best ever live recorded perfomances, the band is firing on all cylinders, and the recording quality is excellent! If the whole show where here this would be the Chapman-era answer to “Strangers in the Night”. A must have for all Chapman -era fans!

   definitly a great cd to add to your UFO collection , contains live recording from the making contact tour. It was originally released in vinyl in 1983 as a swan song for the band containing best of as well as family, friends tracks (Scorpions , Whitesnake Etc….) on sides 1-3 , with side four containing 5 live tracks from this recording. Now this is only the live show with 6 more songs added, very good recording and great performance from the band we grew to love.
