However, two of my favourite Schenker-year UFO tunes are not from 'Strangers in the Night' starting with 'Space Child' from 'Phenomenon', the first UFO album with Schenker from 1974:
Remember my old friend Bruno playing this to death on audio-cassette when we, as teenagers still at school, had 'dens' in old houses in Bury, Lancashire in the late 70s/early 80s.
Also really like 'Love Lost Love' from the 1975 UFO album 'Force It' (the one with the great shower scene cover):
Remember another old friend from Bury, Gaz Mills, raving about this tune after he'd just bought the album, and he was right, it's a fantastic melodic Rock track.
And of course, the beauties from 'Strangers in the Night' (in reality, too many too mention) starting with most people's favourite, 'Love To Love':
Just love the changes of pace and emotion in this tune, and, of course, the "misty green and blue" image.
And probably the first UFO tune I ever heard 'Doctor Doctor':
But the one that's stayed at the forefront of my mental jukebox more than others, 'Out in the Street':
