Three great albums, one great price.......2007-05-24

This set contains all the material from Fly to the Rainbow, In Trance, and Virgin Killer! I had been waiting for remastered versions of these albums to be released in the US, as they did with Lonesome Crow, Taken By Force, and Tokyo Tapes. Since that hasn't happened, this is your best alternative.

The standard warning on 70's era Scorpions music applies here. This isn't the Scorpion's everyone knows and loves from the 1980's. Their sound was very different during the 1970's due to Ulrich Roth's influence. His songs are more jazzy/psychedelic and his singing is very different than Klaus Meine's, or anyone else you've ever heard. Someone exploring 1970's era Scorpions for the first time may want to start with Taken By Force or the excellent live album Tokyo Tapes as the price is much lower and both albums are a good representation of the band's sound during this time. For everyone else familiar with the Scorpions of the 1970's, buy this set! You won't be disappointed. Where else can you get three great import albums for under $40?

THE 2, I MEAN THE 3 BEST SCORPIONS ALBUMS EVER.......2007-05-16

these are truly the best scorpions albums ever... In Trance and Virgin Killer. Very well digitally mastered and complete with liner notes and photos but the best is... The 7 bonus tracks are actually all 7 tracks from the second album Fly to the Rainbow. Digitally mastered. So you actually get 3 albums at a very good price. Since these were the only 3 albums left unmastered now you can have all the catalogue remastered and sounding good...

70's SCORPIONS "european shread gods".......2005-02-14

The best music ever created was by the the Scorpions during the 70's, their sound was absoloutly out of this world, fantasticly brilliant shread metal at its finest.... these guys started it all....... from slow trippy Psycedelic tunes to hard fast driving metal attacks....... Uli Roth Uli Roth Uli Roth Uli Roth
and lets not forget the master Rudolf, we must thank him for creating the Scorpions back in 65,, and then there is the best vocals of all "Kluas Manie" ........ buy it, it soothes your mind in a wonderfull way... buy it and fly far beyond the rainbow... buy it and fall into a deep trance that Uli Roth will weep into your brain... buy it and never ever look back again........ peace from the yellowraven

Phenominal '70's Proto-Metal! And what a bargain!.......2004-06-15

There are two versions of the In Trance / Virgin Killers combo release. This listing is the "Axekiller" label release in a foldout digipack with two discs. Each disc has bonus tracks, which are actually all from The Scorpions second release "Fly to the Rainbow." So you get "In Trance" and about half of "Fly to the Rainbow" on one disc and then "Virgin Killer" and the other half of "Fly to the Rainbow" on another. This is a killer deal and if you're interested in Uli Roth era Scorpions, this music just smokes nearly everything that follows, probably including the excellent "The Tokyo Tapes." Just buy it!

Musically, it's essential guitar rock with Uli's incredible lead work and Rudolph Schenker's perfect riffing. Lyrically, it's only average, but Klaus's voice is excellent and oh so earnest. I like their commercial music from the '80's pretty well too. But there's a certain magic about the Uli Roth era that can't be denied.

The other version, on the "Phantom" label is also sold on Amazon. I actually ordered under than link from a third party seller and got the Axekiller version. They may or may not be the same. I can't say. But I'm certainly not complaining. I got three of The Scorpions best releases for under the price of two! These albums are hard to buy at reasonable prices so here's your chance!

Amazing! Three albums! Lyrics! Leather jacket!! Roth!!.......2003-09-03

This kind of "box set" is amazing. It features three of the best Scorpions albums in just one package.

After VIRGIN KILLER, Scorpions released only one more album with master Uli Roth, TAKEN BY FORCE. That was when the not-so-skilled drummer Herman Rarebell came into the fold. Roth, uninstered in earning more and more money, left the band. The SCORPIONS then recruited Matthias Jabs, and probabley they held a meeting, when they said: "Ok lads, now it's time to make REAL money". And their original sound was gone forever. Of course, being such talented musicians, they produced first-class pop metal (for people who like it, of course)and finally achieved mega success in the United States.

That's why this package has even more valour. It marks the end of the "first" Scorpions, the Scorpions that mattered, the Scorpions that played hard, played with heart, played into new boundaries of heavy music.

THE SCORPIONS RULE !.......2003-07-03

I can't say any more than what's already been said.
Superb remastering. Uli Jon Roth's guitar, Klaus Meine's vocals, and Rudolf Schenker's song writing make this two-disk CD set a treasure to own. (or should I say three?) Great liner notes, pictures, and leather-style case make this set a keeper. It's too bad "Axe Killer" is done remastering music like this. This 2-disk set is out of print unless you can find it new on Ebay like I did. If you want to hear the best of classic metal music I would suggest you get this set. The Scorps' have always been my favorite band!

uli jon roth is one of the greates guitarist of all time.......2003-02-09

i just got into the scorpions and all i have to say is that this album is all about uli jon roth he is right up there with hendrix just listen to sun in my hand or drifting sun and prepare to be blown away his style is totally original his tone the Hendrixisms mixed with that Euro-classic style he is my biggest influence
