Review

An '89 session by jazz vocalists The Ritz, with the quartet doing more standards, putting lyrics to established anthems, and also mixing in some pop covers. They're well schooled and execute the songs nicely. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

UFO 2 - Flying (sometimes simply UFO 2 or Flying; also subtitled One Hour Space Rock) is the second album by UFO released in 1971 (see 1971 in music) on Beacon label; issued on CD in 1999 on Repertoire Records.

This album is distinctive for its title track, which is the longest song the band ever recorded. The track finishes with a backmasked reading from Rudyard Kipling's Gunga Din: "Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you, By the livin' Gawd that made you, You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!" and a slowed phrase "Yes we know, it's all been done before before before".

The album was reissued on the "Flying - The Early Years" compilation, along with all of the band's other pre-Schenker work.
