To celebrate their 60th anniversary, the iconic hard rock band Scorpions is re-releasing their debut album, Lonesome Crow. The re-released was announced via Instagram on Sunday afternoon, and fans are thrilled.
The new version of the Lonesome Crow album will be remixed by Grammy-Award winning producer Hans-Martin Buff and is based on archives from producer Conny Plank's original master tapes. Aside from streaming options, the album will be available for purchase as a limited edition transparent vinyl in a gatefold cover and as digi sleeve CD.
Lonesome Crow was released in 1972 as Scorpions' debut album and served as the soundtrack for the German anti-drug film Das Kalte Paradies. Recorded in only seven days, the dark psychedelic album was foundational for the band's later success. Their debut is a noticeable deviation from their later work, which centers around a more melodic hard rock sound in comparison to Lonesome Crow's unpolished, almost progressive rock style.

Six Decades of Rock
The iconic rock band was formed in 1965 by Rudolf Schenker, who remains the group's only consistent member. Their most famous lineup was active between 1978 and 1992 and consisted of vocalist Klaus Meine, lead guitarist Matthias Jabs, bassist Francis Buchholz and drummer Herman Rarebell. Throughout their career, Scorpions released 19 studio albums, garnering significant commercial success and critical acclaim while selling over 100 million records worldwide.
In addition to their commercial success, Scorpions have earned several notable accolades, including a World Music Award in 2010 and an ECHO Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.
