Scorpions - Best Of Scorpions coming on Audio Fidelity?

Seems to be no dedicated thread about this that i could find.
On my snvinyl newsletter this title was mentioned. According to them, Steve did the mastering.



I'm looking forward to this!

 

Saw it listed on Acoustic Sounds last weekend. Would prefer to see Animal Magnetism but I will most likely get this.

 

Wish they would do the rest of the Uli albums and Love drive.

 

BEST AUDIO FIDELITY NEWS in ages !!!!!!!!!!

In case Kevin Gray did it, please MASTER THIS CD WITH BASS. Still hurts my heart and ears the fact that 'Blackout' had no bass whatsoever

70s Scorpions had plenty of full-bodied sounding bass, which was great. THAT's what I want to hear on this upcoming SACD

And don't forget Vol2. IMHO, even better than 'Best of Scorpions'. Both are absolutely essential
Cheers



The Scorpions Best of Scorpions Numbered Limited Edition Hybrid Stereo SACD-Elusive Disc

 

I'm curious if @Steve Hoffman actually mastered/will be mastering this. I mean Kevin did all the other ones.

The info on the site could be wrong, happened before.

 

This!
Why not release the other albums? I'm underwhelmed by this announcement but I might buy it anyway.

 

Pre-ordered. This may be the only way to get these songs on SACD.

 

I'm definitely in on this one. Great news!

 

Great song list. All of my favorites. Even Backstage Queen. Will it have the full version of Sails?

 

Does this comp have any songs from the previously released AF Scorpions albums?

 

4 songs from Virgin Killers

 

Would definitely love to see more Scorpions stuff, especially from the 70s, In Trance would be my #1 pick.

 

Thanks! So, 4 of the 11 songs on the comp.

The $64,000 question:

Will this release be true to the original, or will it include the unedited The Sails of Charon?

 

@Steve Hoffman

 

That's why I hope they'll release Best Of Scorpions Vol2 soon

Only 2 songs out of 10 have been released on AF yet

1. "Top of the Bill" - 3:22 (from the album In Trance)
2. "They Need a Million" - 4:47 (from the album Fly to the Rainbow)
3. "Longing for Fire" - 2:42 (from the album In Trance)
4. "Catch Your Train" - 3:32 (from the album Virgin Killer)
5. "Speedy's Coming" (live) - 3:21 (from the album Tokyo Tapes)
6. "Crying Days" - 4:36 (from the album Virgin Killer)
7. "All Night Long" (live) - 2:55 (from the album Tokyo Tapes)
8. "This Is My Song" - 4:07 (from the album Fly to the Rainbow)
9. "Sun in My Hand" - 4:20 (from the album In Trance)
10. "We'll Burn the Sky" (live) - 8:16 (from the album Tokyo Tapes)

 

Probably the edited version.

 

I remember having the CD with this cover, and it had the edited version

 

Roughly one month left and no new info?

I'm thinking delayed!

 

Yes

No new info at all!

 

I'll get this, but I really really wish they'd just to "Taken By Force" instead.

 

Oh heck yes! I was really hoping they were not done with the Scorpions yet. I'll take whatever they want to release.
I hope this isn't the last.

 

I'm taking ALL the Uli Jon Roth era albums AND Best of Scorpions Vol2 AF SACD



As for the Mercury Years (aka Matthias Jabs era), 'Lovedrive' and 'Crazy World'
