“Touring the globe as a teenager, Schenker became a driving force behind some of UFO’s most beloved tracks… During these meteoric years, the albums Phenomenon, Force It, No Heavy Petting, Lights Out, Obsession and the seminal live album Strangers in the Night were released, each contributing significantly to the genre.
“Now, Michael Schenker is set to celebrate those glory days with his new album, My Years With UFO, alongside today’s rock elite.”
