UFO has announced an album made up entirely of rock covers.

The covers record, titled ‘The Salentino Cuts,’ will be available on Friday 29^th September and will feature covers of the veteran rockers favourite tracks by their favourite bands including ZZ Top, The Animals, The Doors, Tom Petty and Mad Season.

Comprised of 12-songs, ‘The Salentino Cuts’ will be releases on CD along with two limited edition vinyl pressings in splatter and all white.

On the record, lead guitarists Vinnie Moore said:

"Making this covers record was a blast for me. I thoroughly enjoyed putting a little of my own spin on these tunes that I grew up with. I played ZZ Top and Robin Trower songs about a gazzilion times onstage over the years. it was great to actually get to record some of my old faves.”

Previously singer Phil Mogg told Planet Rock Magazine;

“We have talked about touring and just doing the whole of ‘Strangers In The Night’ - for the craic. But we’re still about making new music. We’re recording a covers album, actually. We’ve done The Doors’ ‘Break on Through (To The Other Side)’, The Yardbirds’ ‘Heart Full Of Soul’… but we don’t know what to call it.”
