UFO - Phenomenon - 3CD Deluxe Edition

Just saw this on IMWAN and thought it deserved its own thread. A new deluxe version of UFO’s Phenomenon coming out this October. Not too much new on this but it will be nice to have everything here in one package. Bull Moose has this up for preorder for $13.97, which is very reasonable for a 3 disc set. Per that page:

UFO are widely regarded as one of the UK’s best hard rock acts and this year (their final one) are celebrating their 50th year in existence with their final world tour. Phenomenon was the bands debut for Chrysalis and was a departure from the bands previous Space Rock sound to a Heavier rock style. This was also the debut for Michael Schenker who was going to have a major influence on the band in years to come. It was produced by Leo Lyons at Morgan Studios and contains some of the bands biggest rock anthems in Doctor Doctor and Rock Bottom. This set has been newly remastered from the original analog production masters by Andy Pearce. Presented here in an 8-panel digipak with o-card with new sleeve notes by Martin Hann – it contains a disc of B-Sides and unreleased demo versions as well as third disc of live material. The band are currently on a 50th Anniversary World Tour which sees them playing into 2020.They kick off the US tour 9th October.

 

This is my favorite UFO album, so I’ll get this. The price is reasonable and I absolutely love that Electric Ballroom show.

 

Good price for a 3cd set. I have the live 74 set on the Chrysalis Years 73-79 box but I'll pick this up nonetheless.

 

Very happy that Andy Pearce is doing the remastering! This should sound amazing!

 

I'll get it. 13.97 is a good deal

 

Definite purchase for me, likely vinyl, and CD.
Hope Pierce hasn't smiley face EQ'd it.

 

The previous remasters of this album have been disappointing. Andy Pearce can do a great job sometimes (Black Sabbath, Elf) but it’s not a guarantee. My favorite UFO album but I’ll wait for reviews before making a purchase.

 

This combines all the bonus stuff from the chrysalis years and the other collection in one.
Cold turkey ! Give her the gun, sixteen and sweet little thing are worth the price of admission alone.

 

Oh My indeed!

I obviously have to get this - I'm assuming that this is opening a can or worms and we can expect quite a few of these to follow from UFO - gotta top up Moggys retirement fund somehow!!!

What is "the other collection"?

 

Sounds interesting.

 

The complete studio albums was one box, the other was the chrysalis years. The instrumental and rough mixes weren't on those. The show and most of A side b side stuff was though, it's a mix of exclusive stuff to each set. I think this has all of the stuff those 2 did is what I meant, plus more

 

Andy Pearce remaster. I’ll pick this one up!

 

Aha, I see, I have the Chrysalis Years and the previous separate remasters, which seem to be identical to what's in the Complete Studio Albums, so I have all that. I thought you meant everything on here was included on previous releases, so I misunderstood anyway. It's a shame they couldn't also squeeze in the relevant BBC stuff as I don't have At The BBC On Air (never got neither that nor the Official Bootleg Box Set as I'm not interested in the post-Schenker material).

 

Rumour has it all the Chrysalis albums will get this 3cd treatment. Lets hope some worthy stuff is unearthed.

 

This shows as no longer available on Amazon. Anyone know whats going on?

 

just got the original chrysalis cd the other day. i somehow doubt the remaster will sound better than that.

 

Still on schedule on Amazon UK.

 

Agreed. The last go (Chrysalis Years set) was horribly compressed, but had nice extra tracks.

 

The original CD doesn't sound so good.... I do prefer a remaster (good dynamic range) close to the sound of the original Chrysalis LP.

 

I'm interested, but "2019 Remaster" makes me apprehensive. Does Andy Pearce have a descent track record?

 

Yes. He is not a loudness war guy. Several of his recent rock remasters are highly praised around here.

 

Pre-ordered the vinyl...this was the first record I ever purchased with my own $ in the 7th grade . Still one of my faves!

 

He did Sabbath remasters, DIO, Rainbow, Helloween Keeper albums etc... all Deluxe versions and pretty good sounding with none or minimal amount of compression. None of them are bright sounding either which is good.
