 (6 Customer Reviews)
This is the Germany import edition of FLY TO THE RAINBOW by hard rockers the Scorpions, featuring lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth.
On their second effort, Fly to the Rainbow, the Scorpions begin to establish their trademark hard-rock sound while exorcising the last of their remaining psychedelic hippie tendencies. In fact, the band bursts out of the gate in surprisingly straightforward fashion with the hard rocking "Speedy's Coming" before resorting to the aforementioned bad habits on otherwise promising tracks such as "Fly People Fly" and "They Need a Million"; the first never really gets off the ground, seeming almost like a prelude to the title track, and the second is let down by the weak vocals of guitarists Rudolf Schenker and Uli Jon Roth, who have no business competing against vocalist Klaus Meine. Roth insists, however, on taking center stage for "Drifting Sun," which exposes his shameless Hendrix-isms, down to the opening riff lifted straight out of "Spanish Castle Magic." And while it closes the album in rather schizophrenic fashion, the epic nine-minute title track would become a concert standard -- albeit without its senseless folky intro. Fly to the Rainbow is another growing experience for the Scorpions; and the band would truly hit the jackpot with the following year's In Trance. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
German edition of the hard rock band's second album with original artwork, originally released on the RCA label in 1974. 7 tracks including 'Speedy's Coming', 'Fly People Fly', 'They Need a Million', and more.

This fantastic effort from the Scorpions was the first one i ever bought. It hit me hard then and I still love it 29 years later!! The screaming guitar opening to Speedy's Coming is unparalled in rock. There are many other good songs on this album. The best though is the heavy rock classic Drifting Sun, a total hall of famer. Get this album.

classic album
This classic album might not be the easiest listen for everybody, it features moodier songs and the lingering slower passages make you want to lie down and close your eyes. Except for the opening song, Speedy's Coming, this album has a lower tone than other Scorpions albums, less upbeat and without that party attitude. The lyrics are dream inducing, and Uli's playing is very sensual and sensitive, to me it remains a strong exemple of what classic hard rock can be when it's at its best, Scorpions style.

Man this album never left my turntable when I was in highschool. This and Lonesome crow. Unique and really inventive playing and songwriting here. If you had told me where they would end up I would not have believed it. I dont mind the later Scoprs it is just a huge departure from where they started. This Album is good high or not. Worth it! 100%.

 The old Scorpions are the best Scorpions
The Scoprions sold out and become commercial after the first few albums, but who can blame them? After songs like 'They need a million' they decided that they did. However, this album is right up there with the likes of Lonesome crow and Intrance and is just as good now as it was thirty years ago.

Prior to Lovedrive's recording, the Scorpions' lineup had a major change when their lead guitarist, Uli Jon Roth, quit the group (not to mention, the rock genre was rapidly changing). With this in mind, the band not only highlighted the album with the licks and riffs of three guitarists (Rudolf Schenker, Michael Schenker, Matthias Jabs), but they also dramatically changed ...

Fly To The Rainbow music CDs
$9.25
An early work by the Scorpions, VIRGIN KILER features guitarwork by Uli Jon Roth and nine tracks including "Backstage Queen," "Catch Your Train," and "Hell Cat."
Recorded just before the band began cranking out their earliest hits on classic albums like Lovedrive and Animal Magnetism, Virgin Killer is the first of four studio releases that really defined the Scorpions and their urgent metallic sound that was to become highly influential. While there are no tracks recognizable to the casual fan like "Blackout" and "Another Piece of Meat," on Virgin Killer, serious fans of the group treasure this 1977 collection. Some all-time Scorpions standouts like "Pictured Life" and the title cut have all the necessary guitar chops and fierce falsetto melodies ...

| | Scorpions Tokyo Tapes CD (1978) Remastered
Fly To The Rainbow CD music
$11.99
If you played in a hard rock band during the '70s, what were you likely to be doing circa 1978? Why, recording a live album, of course. Preferably a double vinyl set, and in Japan to boot. The Scorpions were no exception, and in fact, their Tokyo Tapes were captured only days after Cheap Trick's At Budokan in April 1978. Though hardly as inspired or successful, the Tokyo Tapes set still serves as an ideal greatest-hits collection of the Scorpions' first decade. This recording also showcases the spectacular playing (and occasionally, the dreadful singing) of guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who would soon leave the band for a misguided solo career, but displays some jaw-dropping technique here, most notably on the epic "We'll Burn the Sky." The rest of the band also puts in competent performances on such early standards as "In Trance," "Fly to the Rainbow," and "Speedy's Coming." The material on disc one is consistently strong, and though a number of pointless covers ("Houng Dog," "Long Tall Sally") and that most dreaded concert spectacle -- the drum solo -- break the flow on disc two, the band still closes strong with the crowd-pleasing Japanese folk song "Kojo No Tsuki" and frenetic versions of "Dark Lady" and "Robot Man." Ultimately, if you have any curiosity about the Scorpions' early material, Tokyo Tapes provides the perfect introduction. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

| | R L Burnside Mississippi Hill Country Blues CD (2000)
Fly To The Rainbow music CDs
$13.79 
There isn't a blues artist alive today that can harness mercurial gutbucket chaos like R.L. Burnside. His take on the droning, circular guitar riffs indigenous to the blues of the north Mississippi hill country, coupled with his electric band's skull-crushing power, is enough to send listeners into hypnotic convulsions of rapture. However, MISSISSIPPI HILL COUNTRY BLUES, culled from sessions in the late 1960s and early 1980s, features Burnside solo on acoustic guitar. The results, stark and clear in the absence of his customary distortion and sonic upheaval, are spectacular.
Though the performances here are as intense as his electric sets, this album's spare aesthetic makes it possible to concentrate closely on Burnside's intricate guitar technique, ...
