The LPs are mastered at half speed at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, then pressed onto 180g vinyl, offering the listener the best-ever-sounding version of the album. The recordings are remastered by Jon Astley (The Who, Led Zeppelin, George Harrison & many others). The sleeves are printed from superior-quality scans with detailed reproduction artwork.

UFO paved the way for British heavy metal and astounded fans back in 1970. The group was flashy and showy on stage, but as their first album UFO 1 reveals, they had bags of energy and ideas in the studio, too. Here is the early psych-space rock sound of a group with a big future that would come to dominate the seventies. This early version of UFO shows Phil Mogg (vocals), Pete Way (bass), Mick Bolton (guitar) and Andy Parker (drums) developing their unique space rock style with blues roots. "Unidentified Flying Object" is a typical song of the period, showcasing Bolton's Hendrix-influenced guitar and Mogg's intense vocals.
