The Salentino Cuts is the 22nd and final studio album (and only covers album) by British rock band UFO. The album was released on Cleopatra Records on 29 September 2017. It was the final studio release by the band prior to the 2019 death of keyboardist/guitarist Paul Raymond. In reference to the album title, Bassist Rob De Luca stated "We recorded the album in Hannover, Germany. We would often end up at an Italian restaurant afterward to eat, drink, hang and plan out the next day. The restaurant is called Salentino's. So it became our defacto clubhouse.”
UFO covers songs from The Yardbirds, The Doors, Mad Season, Steppenwolf, John Mellencamp, Montrose, Mountain, Bill Withers, Tom Petty, Robin Trower, ZZ Top and The Animals.
