The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent is the ninth studio album by English hard rock band UFO, released on 16 January 1981.

Former Wild Horses' keyboard player Neil Carter replaced Paul Raymond, who had left to join the Michael Schenker Group after a disagreement with singer Phil Mogg.

[After Paul Raymond's departure] I tried to get John Sloman involved because he could sing, play keyboards and guitar, and was just out of Lone Star like me.

He did play on the Wild album, but most of the keyboards are by the brother of the engineer Gary Edwards – until Phil sacked him.

– Paul Chapman[6]The original cover was, as usual, designed by the art studio Hipgnosis.
