The max axeman does a UFO move, and releases a love album that would really boost his career. This two-disc set is the best tracks from the first 2 MSG albums – plus a couple of UFO favs. Rumours were rife at the time that Braden had gone into a studio to re-record his vocals – he was very hit and miss when performing live. Nothing wrong with that really, as the whole of Judas Priest’s Unleashed In The East was recorded in the studio. There is also the addition of ex-UFO bandmate Paul Raymond on rhythm guitar and keyboards to fill out the sound. Fairly standard versions of most of the songs – except extra and different solos from Schenker added everywhere. Other than a rousing version of Doctor Doctor, the instrumental Into The Arena is my favourite track.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
