When It’s Time to Rock is a live album by UFO, released in 1983 on Chrysalis Records. The album documents UFO during their early‑1980s live resurgence, following lineup changes and a renewed focus on hard‑driving arena rock.
Recorded during UK shows, the album captures the band’s raw stage energy and guitar‑led sound, emphasising crowd interaction and extended performances. It reflects UFO’s ability to bridge 1970s hard rock with the heavier, more polished style of the early 1980s.
Tracks include Push It’s Love, Everybody Knows, Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Rock Bottom, and Shoot Shoot. These performances highlight the band’s live strength and reaffirm their reputation as a powerful touring act.
