Mechanix

Originally released in 1982, Mechanix captures UFO at a pivotal moment of transition. Often overshadowed by the band’s late ’70s classics, the album has since been reappraised as an underrated hard rock gem, featuring driving tracks like “The Writer” and “Doing It All for You,” alongside the atmospheric closer “Feel It.”

Newly remastered at AIR Mastering, this definitive reissue brings renewed clarity and punch to the original recordings. The expanded package includes previously unreleased photographs and new liner notes by David Hann, featuring exclusive interviews with Phil Mogg, Andy Parker, and Neil Carter.

A major highlight is a newly mixed live recording from London’s legendary Hammersmith Odeon, captured on January 28, 1982, and restored by renowned producer Brian Kehew. Showcasing UFO’s raw energy and musical firepower on the eve of Mechanix’s release, this performance adds a thrilling live dimension to the collection.

A compelling document of UFO’s evolution, this expanded edition celebrates the enduring legacy of one of hard rock’s essential bands.
