UFO 1 is the debut studio album by British
Rare Earth Records
in April 1971. Neither of these releases charted, but the album did become a success in Germany and Japan.
The album was reissued under the name Unidentified Flying Object with 4 of the 5 tracks from the band's second album. This reissue shows a photo of the band from the 1980s on the cover.[citation needed]
The album was also reissued on the Flying: The Early Years 1970–1973 compilation album of 2004, along with all the other recordings made by the band with their original guitarist, Mick Bolton. It was also given a straight reissue under the name All The Hits & More - The Early Days (XXX Media, Germany, 2011), with no additional tracks.
