YUI Orta is the seventh solo album of Ian Hunter. He reunites again with longtime collaborator Mick Ronson, as The Hunter Ronson Band.
It was intended as a sort of comeback for both men, but record company did only little promotion and eventually they were dropped from the label.[2]
There were plans for a follow up, but these were put on hold when Ronson got diagnosted with liver cancer.[2]
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".
In 2003, the album was reissued with two bonus tracks.[2]
