The Chrysalis Years (1973-1979) chronologically charts UFO's career, from the obscure 1973 German single 'Give Her The Gun' to 1979's hit single version of 'Doctor Doctor,' backed with its live B-side, 'On With The Action' (available on CD for the first time).
Collecting all five studio albums to feature wunderkind guitar virtuoso Michael Schenker, who was only 18 when he originally joined the band for 1974's Phenomenon, this anthology also includes, in their entirety, Force It (1975), No Heavy Petting (1976), Lights Out (1977) and Obsession (1978).
In addition to BBC Radio sessions recorded for Bob Harris and John Peel, single edits and rare remixes, this collection boasts a previously unreleased 45-minute concert recording from UFO's first U.S. tour.
