Tales of Rock'n'Roll is the ninth studio album by the Michael Schenker Group. It was released in 2006 after two years of work, to celebrate 25 years of activity of the Michael Schenker Group. The music of the album was initially composed for a UFO concept album, but Michael Schenker used it for Tales of Rock'n'Roll, after he put together again MSG with new singer Jari Tiura. During the recording of the album all the main past singers of MSG contributed lyrics and vocals to the songs.[3]
