In
November, Cherry Red is reissuing three catalog titles from the
McAuley Schenker Group: 1987's "Perfect Timing", 1992’s "M.S.G." and "Unplugged Live". Details can be read below:
"Perfect
Timing":
After making his debut at a mere 17 years of age on the Scorpions first album in 1972, mad axe-man and guitar maestro Michael Schenker spent five years as lead guitarist with Brit rockers UFO, before forming the Michael Schenker Group (MSG for short) with singer Gary Barden in 1979. After four studio albums and two live records, released on Chrysalis between 1980 and 1984, Michael returned in 1987 for the Perfect Timing album, but now fronted by former Grand Prix and Far Corporation singer Robin McAuley, with a change of name to the McAuley Schenker Group, but still conveniently shortened to MSG.

"M.S.G.:"
1992’s M.S.G. is certainly a harder, grittier affair than the previous McAuley Schenker releases, and includes the single, ‘Never Ending Nightmare’.
The set features an expanded 16 page booklet with period memorabilia and rare photos, plus a new essay from journalist Malcolm Dome based on brand new interviews with Michael Schenker and Robin McAuley, conducted in 2012 especially for this release.

"Unplugged
Live:"
This new look MSG recorded a total of four albums, the last of which was Unplugged Live (1992). As well as key McAuley Schenker songs, recorded live in Los Angeles in 1992, the album features three UFO classics; ‘Natural Thing’, ‘Doctor Doctor’ and ‘Lights Out’. The bonus tracks are unique acoustic studio versions of ‘Anytime’, ‘We Believe In Love’, ‘What Happens To Me’ and ‘Bad Boys’, all taken from the “unplugged in the studio” Japanese only mini-album Nightmare: The Acoustic MSG.
