Phenomena (band)

Phenomena is a rock music concept formed by record producer Tom Galley and his brother, Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley. Contributors were leading rock musicians such as Glenn Hughes, Brian May, and John Wetton, amongst others.

History
In a cover story run by Kerrang! magazine in 1985, Phenomena's production of rock songs based on a story line running through a whole album, attached to artworks and other multi-media aspects, was credited for the "return of the concept album" in the 1980s. Phenomena released three albums in the 1980s and early 1990s, and had a number one hit single in South America with "Did It All for Love", while the album charted in Europe, Japan, and Brazil. It was after working together on the second album, that Kyoji Yamamoto invited Neil Murray to join Vow Wow.
