The album is distinctive for its title track, which was among the longest tracks recorded in rock music up to that point and easily the longest song the band ever recorded. The track finishes with a backmasked reading from Rudyard Kipling's Gunga Din, "Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you, By the livin' God that made you, You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!", and a slowed phrase, "Yes we know, it's all been done before before before".

The album was reissued on the Flying, The Early Years compilation, along with all of the band's other work from before guitarist Michael Schenker joined the group.

UFO 2: Flying — второй студийный альбом британской рок-группы UFO, выпущенный в октябре 1971 года. Это последняя студийная работа группы с гитаристом Миком Болтоном, который покинул UFO в феврале 1972 года, и последняя, записанная в жанре спейс-рок. Так же как и дебютный альбом, пластинка прошла незамеченной в Великобритании, однако пользовалась успехом во Франции, Германии и, в особенности, в Японии. Записанное на выступлении в Токио исполнение песен «Prince Kajuku» и «The Coming of Prince Kajuku» попало на первый концертный альбом группы Live.
