Mccauley Schenker Group

This newly remastered 6CD, 66 track collection brings together a collection of Michael Schenker material, recorded from 1979 - 1983. A turbulent time for Michael, following his exit from UFO via Scorpions. Featuring the studio albums Michael Schenker Group, MSG, Assault Attack, Built to Destroy (both UK and US versions) as well as a disc of Demos & Alternative Versions featuring the entire 1979 demo tape, rare monitor mixes and single versions and a disc of completely unreleased material, with early studio takes and rough monitor mixes.

This five-disc set from legendary UFO and Scorpions guitarist Michael Schenker collects all six albums that he made for Chrysalis between 1980 and 1984 under the Michael Schenker Group moniker. Bolstered by a handful of live cuts, B-sides, and alternate edits, The Chrysalis Years: 1980-1984 includes the group's eponymous 1980 debut MSG 2 (1981), the Japanese double-live album One Night at Budokan (1981), Assault Attack (1982), Built to Destroy (1983), and the band's second live album, Rock Will Never Die (1984).

Right in time for his 40th anniversary as a solo artist and his 50th birthday as a musician, he resurrects the immortal Michael Schenker Group. 'Immortal' is also the name of his album, recorded by likely the strongest line-up in his long history. Its a lightning bolt of an album that sounds fresh, bloodthirsty and agile. 'Immortal' showcases the gargantuan vocal talents of Chilean hard rock prodigy Ronnie Romero (Rainbow), backed by singers Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Joe Lynn Turner (ex-Deep Purple) as well as Schenker's brother in arms, Michael Voss (Mad Max) who again produced the record alongside Michael Schenker - flawlessly, punchy and at full steam as if their very lives depended on it.

The Michael Schenker Group - Hard rock band based in Germany. Existed from 1979 until 1985, revived 1996. The only consistent member is Michael Schenker and the band could also be seen as his solo project.
Do not confuse with McAuley Schenker Group. Both bands use the abbreviation MSG, but are considered different bands.

For the first time ever, Michael Schenker returns to his classic years with UFO, revisiting the era that catapulted both him and the British hard rock band to international stardom.

Japanese edition with two bonus tracks.
There are few rock guitarists on this planet who have had such a lasting influence on so many renowned musicians as Michael Schenker. With his outstandingly fluid style, inexhaustible wealth of ideas and instinctive feel for hooks and melodies, Michael Schenker is a living legend who, despite his longstanding and distinguished history, still impresses with his unflagging energy and drive. The blond axeman from Sarstedt began his international career in the early 1970s with the Scorpions, achieved worldwide fame after joining British rock group U.F.O. and then seamlessly continued his exceptional global success story under his own name, as well as with acts such as Michael Schenker Group (MSG for short), Temple Of Rock and Michael Schenker Fest…
