WAS A FAST TOUGH WOMAN
LOVED TO PLAY THE CLOWN
YOU WON'T DO NOTHIN' ABOUT IT
BREAK A GOOD BOY'S
RESISTANCE DOWN
Force It
is the fourth
studio album
by English
Rock band
UFO,
released
in 1975.
It was their
first album
to chart in
the United States.
The album was produced
by Ten Years After
bass player
Leo Lyons.
Another
Ten Years After
member,
Chick Churchill,
played
Fender Rhodes
electric piano
keyboard,
the first use
of that instrument
on a
UFO record.
The CD reissue was
remastered at
Sound Recording Technology
in Cambridge in 1994.
Album Cover
The somewhat controversial
original album cover
was designed by
Hipgnosis,
as were almost all other
UFO album covers
of the 1970s.
The nudity on the cover
verged on breaching
decency standards
and the sexes
of the couple
in the bathtub
were not known
for several years.
The models were later
revealed to be
Genesis P-Orridge
and
Cosey Fanni Tutti,
both later of the
influential industrial band
Throbbing Gristle
. The artwork was softened
for the initial US release,
making the couple
in the bathtub transparent.
The cover is a pun
there are multiple taps
(British English)
or
"faucets"
(US English)
in the picture,
which is a play on
the album's title.
