UFO’s 80s Resurgence: ‘Makin’ Moves in Chicago 1981’ Silver Vinyl (CLO4796LP-SV)

Today’s entry captures British hard rock legends UFO in a moment of transition and triumph. We are looking at the 2024 Limited Edition release Makin’ Moves in Chicago 1981, issued by Cleopatra Records on Silver Vinyl with the catalog number CLO4796LP-SV.

The ‘Wild’ Tour

Released on January 5, 2024, this double live album documents a high-energy performance from the tour supporting their 1981 album, The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent. Following the departure of Michael Schenker, this era features Paul Chapman on guitar, proving the band remained a formidable live act. The setlist is a balanced mix of then-new tracks like “The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent” and “Makin’ Moves,” alongside the obligatory classics “Doctor Doctor,” “Lights Out,” and “Rock Bottom.” The recording captures Phil Mogg and the band in “reinvigorated” form, on a mission to conquer the American market in the new decade.

Silver Collector’s Edition

This release is pressed on striking Silver Wax, fitting the metallic intensity of the performance. It is a 2LP set housed in a gatefold sleeve. The copy retains the original hype sticker on the shrink wrap, confirming the specific color variant. It is an essential document for fans looking to explore the powerful post-Schenker era of UFO.
