UFO - Live In Germany 1973 (Recklinghausen + Berlin) - EU On The Air Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A great, limited, 80-minute CD containing very rare, archival and in its own way exceptional material. The first, more important in my opinion, part is filled by a 50-minute show (an audience recording, but a very good one!) recorded by the quartet in Recklinghausen, Germany, in June 1973, with the then guitarist, the very young Bernie Marsden - later of Wild Turkey, Babe Ruth, and above all Whitesnake. It is worth noting the very attractive setlist - alongside classics such as "Boogie" or "Prince Kajuku" (both lasting 10 minutes each) the heavily improvising band offered the not widely known "Sixteen" and covers such as "Move Over" (Janis Joplin) and "Back To The USA" (from the repertoire of MC5). The sound quality is really very good - better than on the versions presented below on YouTube. Right afterwards Marsden was replaced by Michael Schenker and, as they say - the rest is history... The second part of this CD is five unique, live recordings lasting nearly 30 minutes (including the very rare cover "Leaving Here", "Move Over" again and the unique, single "Sweet Little Thing") made already with Schenker, in Berlin in November 1973 - nearly a year before the release of the album "Phenomenon"! Highly recommended!
