SCORPIONS – Animal Magnetism (50th band anniversary Deluxe Edition) *HQ*
To celebrate their 50th band anniversary, SCORPIONS released the 50th Anniversary Deluxe Editions of all their most famous albums. 1965 marks the starting point of one of the most successful rock bands of our time. Hailing from Hannover, Germany, SCORPIONS embarked on a journey that would lead them around the globe and would establish them as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
For the occasion Scorpions open their vaults to unleash hitherto unreleased songs, alternative versions of big hits, unreleased concerts and more.
In addition to dozens of unheard studio tracks and live recordings, all albums are remastered, equipped with extended booklets featuring rare photos and single covers, backstage passes and additional liner notes by Edgar Klüsener, a former editor in chief of Metal Hammer who has followed the band’s career closely over several decades.
1980’s “Animal Magnetism” is another very good album by Scorpions, plenty of rocking riffage, great vocals and strong songwriting, including the progressive ballad “Lady Starlight” featuring string and horns arrangements.
There’s 6 bonus tracks here, among them “Hey You”, sung by Rudolf Schenker, although Klaus Meine can still be heard doing backing vocals on the track. (Thanks to MB for the accurate rip)
