Lights Out was released in May 1977 and became the group's biggest album to date, reaching No. 23 in the US. Michael Schenker's status as the most exciting guitarist in heavy rock was confirmed, the band were rejuvenated with personnel change as Paul Raymond replaced Danny Peyronel and Leo Lyons, who had produced the band's previous three albums was replaced by Ron Nevison, whose work with Led Zeppelin had impressed and signalled the first in a stellar run of collaborations.
An album rich in quality, title track 'Lights Out' offers an urgent portrayal of a dystopian London, dripping with "batons charging...the smell of anarchy". The song was inspired by the same thing that led Joe Strummer to write 'White Riot' for the Clash - the Notting Hill Riots of August 1976. Closing out the record is what Iron Maiden's Steve Harris has called his favourite song of all time, 'Love to Love', arguably the albums crowning achievement.
Newly remastered from the original tape transfers by legendary engineer Andy Pearce, the album is sonically more gripping than ever, and sounds as urgent and thrilling as when it was first released.
Newly written liner notes from Michael Hann interweaved with newly conducted interviews with original band members tell the story of this fantastic record.
"We were hitting our stride, playing well. We'd got to where we wanted to be"- Phil Mogg
"This was the first album with this line-up, and there were always surprises coming up" - Michael Schenker
"When we listened back to it, we all knew: 'This is really good,'"- Andy Parker
