I couldn't locate a thread on this guy. Does anybody know this record?

I downloaded it a year ago from here and have listened to it intermittently. Today it is really doing it for me, though...

It's singer-songwriterish stuff, which kinda calls to mind for me a more hardened David Ackles or something. The title track, "U.F.O.", is pretty sublime at any rate...

Big Jim rules! He was in Tiger. I put a Tiger track on my new hotheads mix that i just posted on ilm.
There is one track on the first Tiger album where he is shredding so fast that i think he accidently invented speed metal. it's awesome.
he was on Space:1999 you know.

big jim was one of those jimmy page-like u.k. session dudes. and just as talented as jimmy if you ask me.

cool! well now i'm curious about the "big" jim

so is the reissue, from light-in-the-attic, good?
(i'll refrain from asking if it's as good as the jim sullivan backstory, since that would be too high a bar for any album to hurdle).
