On this day 20 June 1978 British rock band UFO played Cardiff’s Top Rank. The band were promoting their seventh studio album Obession, which peaked at No 26 in the UK album charts.
This was the final studio album to feature Michael Schenker on lead guitar until he returned to the band in 1993.
A single from the album, "Only You Can Rock Me" / "Cherry", was also released in 1978.
So too was the band's first 3-track EP "Only You Can Rock Me", "Cherry" / "Rock Bottom", reaching No. 50 in the UK.
The album was recorded at an abandoned post office in Los Angeles.
UFO was formed in London in 1968 and became a transitional group between early hard rock and heavy metal and the new wave of British heavy metal that followed.
