It all started way back in 1995, when Michael Pincher and myself decided to create the 'Web' version of Michaels brilliant 'Misty Green and Blue' fanzine. It was at the time when the web was just a 'twinkle' in the eye of technology and the only UFO website around was from our dear friend Dave Wood. The 'Misty Green & Blue' fanzine was instrumental in keeping the bands name alive and very much lived 'underground'. Michael Pinchers enthusiasm and vast knowledge of UFO made the magazine a 'must have'. The 'Misty Green and Blue' website complimented these magazine issues and the nature of the medium enabled us to provided the fans updated news on an almost daily basis. Mike Pincher took this a stage further and created the 'UFO Appreciation Society' Website but sadly due to family commitments, Mike has not been able to continue. We thank you for all your hard work over the years. Walk On Water had just been released and UFO were back on the scene with a vengenance with the Classic line-up of Phil Mogg/Michael Schenker/Pete Way/Paul Raymond and Andy Parker. After many years, 3 albums later, numerous tours and 80,000 web visits later, UFO have once again risen with energy and passion. The line-up changes and we now find ourselves in Atumn 2003 with Vinnie Moore on guitars, replacing Michael Schenker, and Jason Bonham filling the drums/percussion slot that is so important to this rock band.   MAGAZINES PLEASE NOTE that these magazines are no longer available as back issues and if you do see any, snap them up as they provide an excellent historical record reference of the band.   Issue 6 of MISTY GREEN and BLUE - October 1998 Here at the UFO Appreciation Society we've been scribbling away to hopefully bring you the best issue yet. Bigger than ever, this issue has a massive forty pages, is still A4 in size, and is printed on high quality 115 gram glossy paper.Inside you'll find all our regular features and detailed articles. We have a fans eye look at UFO's European/UK tourfrom earlier in the year, as well as MGAB's travels to catch the band on mainland Europe and the UK.There is a look at the recent MSG tour and their involvement on the G3 shows with Joe Satriani. On the exclusive scene we have a few scoops to put your way.There is a Phil Mogg interview done exclusively for the magazine just after the UK tour ended. We also managed to finally track down Bernie Marsden and ask about his days in the band.There's a few surprises in store as Bernie can finally confirm the thoughts of MGAB, that he did actually go into the studio with UFO and record some demo's. Elsewhere we've managed to unearth UFO's first ever television broadcast for the BBC on a programme called Disco 2.This dates back to October 1970, making it by far and away the earliest known recording of the band. There'sa look at a pre-UFO band called The Boyfriends that feature two future members of the band.We take a detailed look atthe 'Give Her The Gun' single, and find out from Derek Lawrence when and where it was recorded.There is a detailed singles discography from Australia, a look at all the recent CD releases. Included in the CD reviewsare some prime new bootlegs to come mainly out of Japan and Germany, some dating to 1977, 1980 and ofcourse the recent Walk on Water tour, the best probably being a mixing desk tape from Vienna. We return our letters/questions pages this time, and a bigger than ever classified section including pen-pals and contacts.Also, we have a guided tour of the internet and the main UFO sites. If this isn't enough, we'rerunning another competition as well as all the news surrounding Michael Schenkers leaving the group mid-set in Japan,and we can exclusively reveal the name of the new guitarist Mogg, Way and Raymond are currently working with.Paul Raymond Project is up and running again, and this time it sounds much more rock than blues, so that's one to lookforward to, I could go onbut...   Issue 5 of MISTY GREEN and BLUE Our second full glossy magazine Inside, Features Mick Bolton - 25 years on, exclusive interview with UFO's now legendary six stringer.

As a bonus in this issue, a large fold out family tree is included. This covers the bands entire history and also lists every song they ever recorded and every member that has ever been - a must for purists! A4 - 32 page. It's taken considerably longer than we'd first hoped, but I suppose if we were on time there'd be something wrong! Quite a large portion of this issue is dominated by the bands 'Walk On Water' U.S. tour, it's highs and unfortunately it's lows. We have quite a few readers reviews from several shows, some extremly good quality, exclusive photo's, passes and whatever else we could get our grubbies on. It all culminates in the walk-out of Schenker, events leading up to him leaving the group mid-tour, and where that leaves the bands future. Also this issue we have decided to have a bit of fun with "MGAB's" archive and run a 'classic concert' review, an article/series much requested. For the first, The Imperial Hotel, Blackpool, 1977. We've dug some never before published photographs from the show, spoke to a couple of people who were there and even managed to dig up a couple of old lo-fi recordings from the gig. Many regular features are still in there too. This issues's singles discography is from the USA, we have reviews of the latest bootleg cd's to surface, a round up of the latest video footage to show, questions & answers is back, win a Japanese copy of "Walk On Water" (yes were giving one away) and loades more besides. There's also a free fold out 56cm x 43cm wall chart based around Pete Frames family tree, which also lists every song the band ever recorded and has a detailed worlwide singles discography on it. Another exclusive as well this time. A brief chat we had with Andy Parker revealed the name of the drummer he replaced in the band in August 1969, that's a name that's never been published before! And finally, as I'm sure you've already noticed by now, we have officially become the "UFO Appreciation Society", which basically means we are now taking subscriptions rather than writing to you all individually each time an issue is ready. We've also gone up-market a bit (a little bit) and had the mag printed off plates for the first time. This gives a better result to photographs etc, being computer scanned rather than xeroxed.   ISSUE 3 Blue cover with a studio pic of Michael Schenker on the front. This issue we have a new album to look at. Walk on Water is warmly received alongside news of an extensive US tour. Elsewhere we have a Japanese singles discography, an extensive look at the Force It album - twenty years on, and mgab travelled down to London for an exclusive chat with Moggy.
