The Complete Album Story

"No Place to Run" is the eighth studio album by the English rock band UFO, released in January 1980 by Chrysalis Records. This album marked the band's first release featuring Paul Chapman, who took over lead guitar duties from Michael Schenker.

The album was produced by George Martin, renowned for his work with The Beatles. Different versions of the album cover were released in the UK, primarily varying in the color of the title. It produced two singles: "Young Blood" and "Lettin' Go."

Reflecting on the album in 2009, Chapman noted, "At the time, I thought No Place to Run sounded a bit flat with George Martin's mix. And I still do, kind of, but it's nowhere near as flat as I first thought." The remastered version released that year included an expanded booklet and bonus tracks.
