The Collection: Episode 36 – Exploring Scorpions on Vinyl (Part 1 of 2)
Hey there, rock enthusiasts! As you may recall, not long ago, I embarked on a journey through the fascinating discography of the legendary band Scorpions. Well, it’s high time we dive into their vinyl collection in a detailed showcase. This will be divided into two exciting installments, starting with their debut release, ‘Lonesome Crow,’ and spanning right up to ‘Blackout,’ plus everything else I’ve managed to collect from this remarkable era.
Next week, make sure to tune in for Part 2, which will guide you through the classic ‘Love at First Sting’ all the way to their most recent album, ‘Rock Believer.’ In this first segment, we’ll be journeying through the vibrant 1970s up until 1982. Expect to see the dynamic lineup featuring Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker, alongside notable talents like Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth, Mathias Jab, and Francis Buchholz. Not to mention, there’s a parade of drummers who have contributed their magic over the years.
We’ll also touch on some of the more controversial album covers and discuss the sonic landscape of Scorpions’ work during this influential period.
