Review - :
Many {\British metal} bands of the '70s/'80s have been the subject of numerous compilations over the years, especially such acts as {$Motorhead}, {$Saxon}, and {$UFO}. The latter outfit is best known for their era when German six string wunderkind {$Michael Schenker} led the charge, but the 1999 British double disc anthology, {^Time to Rock: Best of Singles A's & B}'s, manages to touch upon all eras of the band -- the group's early {\blues rock} direction, the aforementioned {$Schenker} years, and the band's best forgotten mainstream '80s period. Although newcomers to the band are probably better off with a single disc that focuses solely on the {$Schenker} era (namely 1992's {^The Essential UFO}, longtime fans will find quite a few rare gems on {^Time to Rock}. Tops on the list would have to be the tracks {&"Give Her the Gun"} and {&"Sweet Little Thing,"} a single which turned out to be {$Schenker}'s very first appearance on a {$UFO} recording (predating {$UFO}'s {^Phenomenon}), as well as such non-LP b-sides as a live version of {&"Hot N' Ready."} But {^Time to Rock} also includes countless common {$UFO} standards, such as {&"Doctor Doctor,"} {&"Only You Can Rock Me,"} {&"Rock Bottom,"} and {&"Cherry."} Singer {$Phil Mogg} also provides commentary for each track. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
