Scorpions Album: “Platinum Collection”

If your looking for something different, than pick up this collection. Although the songs sound familar, most of them are mixed differently than the studio albums you may be familar with. Much of the earlier tracks sound like demos and at times can be distracting but interesting. Give this disc a listen and you will understand what I'm talking about.

Lot's of Scorpions compilations to choose from... why did I buy this one? Well, I already have BEST MASTERS OF THE 70's HOT n SLOW (which is an Excellent overview of three of their best albums in the 70's) - combine this with the fact that this box set is focused on the 80's and 90's material. Potential disappointments for listeners: only one song from the outstanding TAKEN BY FORCE album (HEs a Woman...), Dont Stop at the Top from SAVAGE AMUSEMENT missing, lite treatment of CRAZY WORLD album (good from my POV as I didnt like that album), and concentration of post-FACE THE HEAT material on disk three (not their best). Verdict: Recommended.

This is a great collection of past,present,and future releases by this

great band. My favorite disc's are "In Trance,Love Drive,and Love at First

Sting". This is a retrospective of there talent and song writing. THANKS

The only reason that I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it left off one of the best songs The Scorpions ever recorded, and that song is "I'm Leaving You". I mean it rocks like hell and the video for this song is freaking awesome. Other than that, this is a great collection.

THESE CD'S ARE GREAT,ALL THE BIG HITS ARE ON THESE CD'S,GREAT BUY WORTH EVERY PENNY..IT'S THE SCORPIONS COME ON,IT'S NOT THE CRAP THEY PLAY ON RADIO STATIONS TODAY.GRUNGE JUNK.THIS IS WHAT ROCK AND ROLL IS ABOUT.
