In celebration of their sixth decade as a band, on September 26, pioneering German hard rock group, Scorpions, will release From The First Sting (BMG), a thrilling collection the raw energy, unforgettable anthems, and iconic moments from their illustrious career.
From The First Sting is the band’s only career-spanning collection and will be available on a deluxe 2LP & 2CD bookpack and 2CD format for European and Rest of the World fans, as well as 2LP vinyl and 1CD format for fans in the Americas.
During their career, Scorpions viewed their music as a bridge between cultures. They performed in the former Soviet Union, China, and Southeast Asia, thereby fostering international understanding.
Commercially, the band are also one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands of all time – with over 120 million album sales to their name. From The First Sting is a sonic journey through the band’s timeless hits, from “Rock You Like A Hurricane” to “Wind Of Change”, showcasing Scorpions’ evolution while honoring the spirit of their classic sound.
From The First Sting features two previously unreleased tracks, “This Is My Song” and “Still Loving You,” the latter of which features British violinist Vanessa Mae. The physical for fans in the Americas comes housed in a carefully crafted 2LP gatefold vinyl pressed on 180g and 1CD digisleeve, comprehensively illustrating the enduring influence of the pioneering masters of their genre.
Perfect for die-hard fans and newcomers alike, From The First Sting delivers the ultimate Scorpions experience – a blistering ride through 60 years of hard-hitting, heart-pounding rock that continues to leave its mark on the world.
