The latest of EMI's ongoing budget box sets should be of particular interest for fans of early hard rock group UFO: a vault-vacuuming set of the band's early material for Chrysalis Records. UFO are now a respectable name among rock and metal fans, but the band's early experimental material for Beacon Records only earned them modest success in other parts of Europe and Asia.
