I'd Like To Show Why Scorpions Got a Sting...

 

Lovedrive is Usually Considered The Start of

The Modern Scorpions Era...

I Think It Went Somethin' Like THIS:

*Exit Uli Jon Roth...

*Enter Matthias Jabs...

**Scorpions Switch Record Labels 

   (Here in the US)...

*Enter Michael Schenker...

**Scorpions Record Lovedrive...

**Scorpions Go On Tour...

*Exit Matthias Jabs...

**A Few Weeks Into The Tour:

*Exit Michael Schenker...

*Enter Matthias Jabs...

***Scorpions Go On To Big Success...***

WorldWide!

This was a Promo Broadcast Record

Sent to Radio Stations From Their

New Record Label: Mercury...

It's the Scorpions Live in Japan...

The Band's Back In Town,Alright...

 

One from the old HRC in 2014,

with five additional tracks added.

A collection of twenty tracks of the Vinnie Moore

era UFO songs live.

It's a shame some of the songs were not performed

more regular over the years.

But as with most legacy bands a lot of the

fans always want to hear the old classics.

Outlaw's On The Loose...

Not the biggest bitrate at 128 if that doesn't

suit...move along.

Classic Southern Rock from Molly Hatchet.

Recorded at the Orlando Arena

and with Danny Joe Brown on vocals.

They don't make these bands anymore.

 

Derek (from Paris) has shared his copy

of Gods And Monsters at the higher 

bitrate of 320.So big thanks to him!

The Game Of Love...

 Magnificent Queen.

From South America 1981.

The current album was the Flash Gordon soundtrack.

Nobody wants to hear the whole thing live so

we get a few songs from The Game 

the previous studio record. 

Not one of their best albums it has to be said,

it does contain a few crackers.

Dragon On My Back being one of my fav's,

the little brother to 

Another One Bites The Dust.
