About

Phenomenon is the third studio album by the British rock band UFO, released in May 1974. Production This was the third studio album and the debut on Chrysalis. UFO largely left their blues-based "space rock" sound behind, in part due to the presence of their new guitarist, 19-year-old Michael Schenker. The album was produced by Leo Lyons, bassist of British rock group Ten Years After. All tracks were recorded at Morgan Studios in London. The original cover design and photos were produced by Hipgnosis. It was remastered at Sound Recording Technology, Cambridge, in 1994. Influence The British heavy metal band Iron Maiden performed a cover of "Doctor Doctor" when Blaze Bayley was with the band as their vocalist. Iron Maiden's cover version is included in "Lord of the Flies" single and also in the Eddie's Archive boxed set on the "Best of the B-Sides" collection.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Original UK release in matt cover on green Chrysalis labels without rimtext, and earliest runouts from A-2U G1 / B-2U G1.
The song order on cover and labels is incorrect (A1 and B1 are swapped), however, the one above is correct.
A1 [B1 actually] appears as "Too Young To No" on cover, but correct as "Too Young To Know" on label.
Recorded at Morgan Studios, London
Some copies with plain die-cut poly-lined inner sleeve.
Runouts are stamped except for the 'KIP' etching.
