To celebrate National Album Day 2025, Phenomenon by UFO is available on standalone single LP for the first time since 1983, offering a new focus on the album as it was originally intended. Pressed on a limited-edition sky-blue vinyl, this version gives collectors a chance to own this a landmark rock release in its most beautiful form to date.

UFO’s success story began in London way back in 1969, when vocalist Phil Mogg, drummer Andy Parker, guitarist Mick Bolton, and bassist Pete Way formed the group. They borrowed the band name from a legendary London music club.

Originally issued in 1974, Phenomenon marked a major turning point for the band, introducing the virtuosic Michael Schenker on guitar and delivering the classic tracks ‘Doctor Doctor‘ and ‘Rock Bottom‘, both becoming staples in hard rock history.

Pressed at the legendary Vinyl Factory in London and housed in faithfully reproduced artwork, along with liner notes by Michael Hann on a printed inner sleeve, elevating the original edition, this release celebrates the legacy of one of the genre’s most influential albums.

A must-stock for classic rock fans, collectors, and National Album Day participants alike.
