Atomic Rooster (1980 album)

Atomic Rooster is the sixth studio album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It was recorded when the band regrouped after breaking up for five years, and they embarked on a raw style which was in marked contrast to that of their past few albums. In addition, its heavier sound fitted in better with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene.

"Do You Know Who's Looking for You?" has been covered by Finnish rock band YUP, who translated it into their native language and retitled it "Keittoruoka" [1]. It was included on their 2001 album Hajota ja hallitse.

The 2005 CD reissue, whilst being welcomed by fans of the band's latter era, is, nonetheless, unlicensed. The copyright in the recording is held by the original label, EMI.
