UFO - The Misdemeanor Tour: Live At The Oxford Apollo (1985) [2025]

[cUFO originally formed in 1969, around singer Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way and drummer Andy Parker. Reaching a peak with 1978’s ‘Strangers In The Night’, after five classic records featuring mercurial lead guitarist Michael Schenker, UFO carried on into the 1980s with Paul Chapman replacing Schenker. Although it seemed as if UFO had called it a day at the end of their 1983 tour to support the ‘Making Contact’ album, singer Phil Mogg put together a new look band for 1985’s ‘Misdemeanor’ record. Eschewing the more guitar- driven hard rock that made their name during the previous decade, the latest album had a more keyboard driven sound, typical of the 1980s. The new look UFO featured Paul Gray on bass, Jim Simpson on drums, Paul Raymond from the classic ‘Strangers In The Night’ era line-up of the band - back in the fold after a stint with The Michael Schenker Group - handling rhythm guitar and keyboards, plus Atomik Tommy 'M' on lead guitar.
