Bad Boys: The Mcauley Schenker Group Story 1987-1992 [Import] (4 Cd's)

Four CDs. After making his debut at a mere 17 years on Scorpions' first LP 'Lonesome Crow' in 1972, guitar maestro and mad axe-man Michael Schenker spent five years as lead guitarist with the inimitable UFO, before forming The Michael Schenker Group (MSG for short) with singer Gary Barden in 1979. With four studio albums and two live records under his belt between 1980 and 1984, Michael returned in 1987 with the 'Perfect Timing' album, fronted by former Grand Prix and Far Corporation singer Robin McAuley, and a change of name to the McAuley Schenker Group - but still conveniently shortened to MSG. The new look MSG released a total of four albums between 1987 and 1992: 'Perfect Timing' (1987), 'Save Yourself' (1989), 'M.S.G.' (1992) and 'Unplugged Live' (1992). Perfect Timing features the bonus tracks 'Gimme' Your Love' (Edit) and 'Follow The Night' (Edit). 'Save Yourself' is now expanded with 'There Has To Be Another Way' (Instrumental), 'Save Yourself' (Single Edit), 'This Is My Heart' (Edit), 'Anytime' (Single Edit), 'Anytime' (Radio Edit), 'Bad Boys' (Acoustic Version). 'M.S.G.' now features 'When I'm Gone' (Single Edit), 'Nightmare' (Single Edit), 'When I'm Gone' (Acoustic Version), 'When I'm Gone' (Alternative CHR Version) and 'Nightmare' (AOR Version). Unplugged Live is completed by a take of UFO's 'Only You Can Rock Me', 'Anytime' (Acoustic Version), 'What Happens To Me' (Acoustic Version), 'We Believe In Love' (Acoustic Version) and 'Never Ending Nightmare' (Acoustic CHR Version) taken from the unplugged in the studio Japanese only mini-album 'Nightmare: The Acoustic MSG'.
