SCORPIONS – Blackout (50th band anniversary Deluxe Edition remastered +4) *HQ*

To celebrate their 5 decades as a band, 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, video clips, 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.

As requested, here’s one of the greatest SCORPIONS albums ever; 1982’s “Blackout“, here including 4 previously unreleased tracks as bonus and a big sounding remastered sound.

“Blackout” is the transitional album from Scorpions from their early Euro metal sound to the more radio friendly, melodic style they unleashed on next album “Love at First Sting”. It’s the perfect blend of heavy rock with melody.
This reissue includes interesting tracks as bonus, such as the first demo version of title track, plus unreleased songs: the heavy-funky “Running For The Plane”, the classic rocker “Sugar Man” (out of the album at the eleventh hour), and the raw “Searching For The Rainbow”.
Classic Scorpions. (thanks to MB for this accurate rip)
