In Trance and Fly to the Rainbow sound great. They were not in the group remastered a few years ago. Love the sleeves too.

It's not a review if you don't listen to it and tell us your opinion

I hope there will be cd versions as well. I love the early period with Uli.

the 2016 "remastered" versions that were pressed (that came with a CD inside as well) were shockingly bad…smash limited to all hell. They clearly just pressed the cd that had been pushed in level to the edge of distortion to vinyl. All punch and definition was slaughtered and gone on vinyl. Night and day compared to the wonderful german original pressings. Even my wife who knows nothing about audio or sound said "ewww…what happened there is your needle broken??" when i swapped to one of the "new" pressings in her presence (Savage Amusement in this case). I hope these new versions have gone back to original analog tapes and been given a serious "rethink" in relation to sound because the last round of pressings was a massive disappointment…if these re-pressings from the same digital smashed sources as 2016…then buyer beware. Flat as a pancake….we shall see….

I got the original In Trance RCA on vinyl record, mint condition, and it sounds absolutely fantastic.
I picked up the 2015 remaster of Taken by Force, and it is the worst mastering-job I've ever heard on a vinyl record. Hope they remastered it again for the coloured vinyl.

If you look at the deadwax vs the remasters a few years ago, you can find out if it is the same metalworks used.

Excellent review but what’s even more excellent is the framed Quo live poster 👌👍

Scorpions were indeed a fantastic live band. I also saw them at Knebworth supporting Deep Purple and at Donington around the same time, supporting Ozzy. That said, I think they should have been included in your recent video about bands that should have retired by now – Klaus in particular looks very frail, which is not surprising considering he is 75! No more microphone spinning or human pyramids for him. Plus they seemed to stop playing in the UK after the Crazy World tour, with only the odd appearance at the likes of the Ramblin Man Fair and the short lived Stone Free festival.

Fantastic set. I'm sure it goes for a pretty penny just like the previous vinyl collection. Thanks for posting this

seen the scorpions twice in 1980 at the Apollo, Glasgow.Tigers of pan tang and Blackfoot supporting. Lovedrive is brilliant album(still love coast to coast anytime). for me their best. Tokyo tapes had so many brilliant early songs but dog rough production. so I'll have a go at the remaster. top work, top man. cheers

Well, I guess I'm buying these all again. Except "Humanity". I'll skip that one.

Love 70s-era Scorps. Blackout pretty great, although miss Uli Roth. After that… Meh—the era when Hard Rock/Metal drowned in cheese and we ended up with cringe-worthy Hair Metal/Butt Rock with embarrassing bands like Poison and Warrant. Most folks didn't know or couldn't tell that Spinal Tap was a parody band at that point. The late-80s so-called Metal bands made KISS look like Pink Floyd.
I still don't get the vinyl resurgence/comeback, however. Sure, vinyl records have great presence and warmth, provided you listen to music in the same room all the time, and don't mind surface noise, etc. I need portability. I like having my entire music catalog in my phone and thus wherever I go. It's CDs for me—rip 'em and still have liner notes and a material recording.

Lots of awesome Scorpions vinyls and I like to see scorpions to get into the rock n roll hall of Fame one day. 😀👍🤘🎸

How come they did a vinyl reissue of Humanity: Hour 1 and not Crazy World? Hmm…
Anyway, cool beans!

My brother has the original pressing of 'Virgin Killer' with the original cover. To be honest, no one I knew made much of a fuss about it back then. For me it's like their Spinal Tap 'Smell The Glove' moment of bad taste. Ah, the seventies. 🙂 The cover art of 'Black Out' is a self portrait by German artist Gottfried Helnwein. His stuff is something else. Check it out.

I remember years ago rummaging through an old record/junk shop and they had the original album cover of Virgin Killer. What a ghastly cover. What was the band thinking.

Hiya.I played the double live album to death as it were."Speedys coming" and so on.Micky Dee I believe is their drummer now? The big track was "China White"Saw them at donnington in circa 1986 prior to Ozzy headlining.Excellent.

Love the jacket suit you sir !

I think they are mostly the 2015 remasters but a few might be newly mastered

Great adds dude. I got the original version of Blackout that I got at a Salvation Army of all places and my stepdad has a copy of Face The Heat. Also Humanity Hour 1 is a concept album about robots or something similar to them taking over.
