Product description

Dive into the electrifying world of Scorpions with their fifth studio album, "Taken by Force," released on December 4, 1977. This hard rock masterpiece marks a significant milestone in the band's discography, featuring the debut of drummer Herman Rarebell and the final studio appearance of guitarist Uli Jon Roth. The album is a testament to the band's evolving sound, blending the raw energy of hard rock with the flamboyant style of glam metal, setting the stage for their future successes.

"Taken by Force" is a powerhouse of 14 tracks, each one a testament to the band's musical prowess. From the opening riffs of "Steamrock Fever" to the iconic "We'll Burn the Sky," the album is a journey through the highs and lows of rock music. The remastered tracks, released in 2015, bring a new level of clarity and depth to the original recordings, allowing both longtime fans and new listeners to appreciate the intricacies of the band's performance.

The album's production, overseen by Pat Lawrence and remastered by Erick Labson, ensures that every note and lyric is crisp and clear. The rhythm guitar work of Rudolf Schenker and the powerful vocals of Klaus Meine are particularly noteworthy, adding layers of complexity and richness to the songs.

"Taken by Force" is not just an album; it's a snapshot of a pivotal moment in Scorpions' career. It captures the band at a crossroads, as they bid farewell to Uli Jon Roth and welcome new influences that would shape their future sound. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the world of hard rock, this album offers a compelling listen that showcases the best of what Scorpions have to offer.

This 2023 Reissue Remastered Special Edition LP is pressed on White vinyl.

  • Great Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    farmupq3October 9, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Awesome all analogue pressing, super tight and punchy bass and Klaus Meine's vocals really shine throughYou will not be disappointed

  • Vinyl Missed Potential

    4 out of 5 stars
    Rakeden_CganvtMarch 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This vinyl record is absolutely amazing, yet it seems like a chance was missed. If they'd done a bit of remastering to make the vocals stand out more, and perhaps reduced some of the vocal reverb, it could've been a true vinyl treasure.

  • Pristine Promo Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    Misrw-HQNovember 24, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Discovered a pristine, unopened promo copy with a gold stamp. It's absolutely incredible!

  • Crisp Sound, Mediocre Art

    5 out of 5 stars
    ncxxuzreurbNovember 21, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Great pressing, the mix - guitar, vocals, bass, drums - is really well done, sounds crisp and full. The cover art? - they could've done better… perhaps just black with the Scorpions logo. I'm eager to compare it with this: https://www.discogs.com/de/release/27014130-Scorpions-Taken-By-Force

  • Phenomenal Rock Album Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    xeczvmdacyt1October 13, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Oh my god-AMAZING sound! Massive dynamic range. Bass goes so deep. Drums hit hard and pack a punch-cymbals sparkle. Guitars and vocals/backing vocals are crystal clear with great distinction. Acoustic guitar sounds like it's right there in your space. You can hear every little note fade away. No noise in the quiet parts. One of the top rock albums for sound quality I've ever listened to. This album has completely blown me away. *It's all in the grooves, just waiting to be set free.*Reviewed on-Linn LP12/Ekos/Ortofon Windfeld ti/Dynavector D-75/Bel Canto eVo2i/Shahinian Arc. (Full Ringmat system/Linn Silver interconnects/Kimber 8TC loudspeaker cables+ears recently microsuction cleaned). PHENOMENAL RELEASE.
