After UFO released "Misdemeanor" in 1985 with drummer Jim Simpson, success eluded. Hence the band recruited drummer Clive Edwards for their next album: "High Stakes & Desperate Men". This 1992 release attempted to recapture the halcyon days of 1974-78, with limited success. However, talk of a full-scale reunion fuelled fan interest.
Speculation was finally ended when the band's 'classic line-up', including initial drummer Andy Parker, re-formed to record "Walk On Water" in 1995.
