No Heavy Petting
1976 studio album by UFO
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No Heavy Petting is the fifth studio album by English rock band UFO, released in 1976. It featured a new band member, keyboard player Danny Peyronel. It was UFO's first record with a full-time keyboardist, and their first as a five-piece band. Peyronel co-wrote several of the tracks, and was only in the band for this one album. This was the last in a trilogy of UFO albums produced by Leo Lyons, the bassist for Ten Years After. "No Heavy Petting" was a rule posted in many public baths in England in the 1970s and 1980s.
