UFO: Phenomenon (1974)

After years of mental and professional instability, I’m told Michael Schenker’s in top form again, slaying eager audiences on his current tour -- billed as Michael Schenker Fest! -- backed by a gaggle of vocalists, including Graham Bonnet, Gary Barden, Robin McAuley and Doogie White.

Yet, 45 years ago, one of hard rock’s most legendary guitar heroes was a largely unknown teenaged wunderkind, doing his best to fit in with a once-failed space rock band named UFO, via 1974’s presciently named Phenomenon.

As I wrote long ago in my All-Music Guide review, Schenker gave the band a much-needed attitude injection, helping vocalist Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way, and drummer Andy Parker change course, toward the Anglo-hard rock style that would soon make them famous.

Later, in Ultimate Classic Rock, I wrote that Phenomenon chronicled the band’s transition, from orbital leftovers like “Space Child” and “Queen of the Deep,” to rousing, no-fuss hard rockers like “Too Young to Know” and “Oh My.”

Taking the long, meandering path from points A to B, the quartet also detoured into the balladic “Crystal Light, the folksy “Time on My Hands,” country-flavored “Lipstick Traces,” and a full-blown cover of Howlin’ Wolf’s and Willie Dixon’s “Built for Comfort.”

But the album’s two future standards would be the absolutely scorching Schenker tour de force “Rock Bottom,” and the irresistible “Doctor Doctor” -- though this studio version can’t touch the Strangers in the Night performance, and its lyrics would soon receive a major overhaul.

Nevertheless, whatever its imperfections (and I haven’t even mentioned the somewhat thin production), Phenomenon has aged very well, and positioned UFO for success, alongside other hard rock greats of the lat ‘70s, like AC/DC, Thin Lizzy and the Scorpions.

Wednesday, October 24: Rata Blanca, “Endorphins”

With The Forgotten Kingdom, Rata Blanca enlisted Doogie White and put out an English-language version of El Reino Olvidado in an attempt at reaching a larger audience outside Spain, Latin and South America. And if “Endorphins” was any indication, the southern hemisphere was holding on a prodigious hard rock act that had their own spin on the Deep Purple and Rainbow templates. As a result, White’s vocals fit perfectly with the groove and finely honed musicianship of Walter Giardino, whose playing was more Blackmore in spirit than actual sound. Rata Blanca soon went back to recording in their native tongue, but “Endorphins” was a nice indication of what the band was capable of.
