BEST OF SCORPIONS
Best of Scorpions is a compilation album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions. It was released in 1979. The record contains songs from their albums between Fly to the Rainbow and Taken by Force. No songs were culled from their debut album, Lonesome Crow. (More from Wikipedia)
Scorpions for example were fairly prominent in the early days of MTV and had several hit songs in that period. Most people don’t know that Scorpions is a German band, having been founded by guitarist Rudolf Schenker in 1965 and still together. They are among the most innovative hard rock bands of the 1970’s – long before they had any American hits – and I was fortunate enough to gather a collection from this period in an album called Best of Scorpions that I was expecting to be drawn from their 1980’s hits.
