YUI Orta by Mick Ronson

YUI Orta is the seventh solo studio album by English singer Ian Hunter. The title is a play on the phrase "Why you, I ought to...". Hunter reunites again with longtime collaborator Mick Ronson, as The Hunter Ronson Band. It was intended as a sort of comeback for both men, but the record company did only little promotion and eventually they were dropped from the label (although the record was a minor hit). There were plans for a follow up, but these were put on hold when Ronson was diagnosed with liver cancer. In "Big Time", Hunter borrows the riff from his own song "Once Bitten Twice Shy". In "Tell It Like It Is" Ronson borrows the riff from "Get It On". The album was heavier in style than Hunter's last two lps of the early 1980s. In 2003, the album was reissued with two bonus tracks.
