The first LP holds the ten-track album, remastered at AIR Mastering from transfers of the original tapes. The second and third LPs carry the band's January 28, 1982 concert at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, newly mixed and previously unreleased, restored by Brian Kehew. The label notes that the show was played on the eve of the album's original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew liner notes by Michael Hann draw on fresh interviews with Phil Mogg, Andy Parker and Neil Carter, and the package adds photographs from the period that had not been published before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanix was UFO's tenth studio album, released by Chrysalis in February 1982 as the follow-up to The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent. Gary Lyons produced it and engineered it with Peter Thea, working across Mountain Studios in Attalens, Switzerland, The Manor in Oxfordshire, and Scorpio Sound and Maison Rouge in London. Chrysalis describes it as Carter's full studio-record debut, on guitars, keyboards and saxophone, alongside Mogg, Parker, Paul Chapman and Pete Way. \"He was so easy,\" Parker has said of Carter. \"He pretty much had it all down.\" Carter has recalled arriving with demos made in his room: \"when it came to Mechanix, I had some things to offer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf his lyrics from this period, Mogg has said: \"I can't do wizards and castles.\" The album's one cover, \"Somethin' Else,\" is the Eddie Cochran song written by Cochran and Sharon Sheeley. \"Let It Rain\" was released as a single in January 1982 and \"Back Into My Life\" followed in April. The album reached No. 8 on the UK Albums chart and No. 82 on the Billboard 200, and Martin Popoff gave it 8 out of 10 in The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal. Way left the band after the tour that followed and joined Fastway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1 — Mechanix (2026 Remaster)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Writer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomethin' Else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Into My Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou'll Get Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoing It All For You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Belong To The Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet It Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeel It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2 \u0026amp; LP 3 — Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London, January 28, 1982\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Belong To The Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet It Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wild, The Willing And The Innocent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly You Can Rock Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Place To Run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove To Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoing It All For You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakin' Moves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Hot To Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e (2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ufo-strangers-in-the-night-deluxe-edition-box-set\"\u003eStrangers In The Night\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanix (this release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840401725740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrysalis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.4.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chrysalis","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":50528545439902,"sku":"EVP-AB109103-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/4535895-3694202_83e5baae-ae59-4ba3-a016-f209ac76978d.jpg?v=1792129524","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/ufo-mechanix-deluxe-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
