After the overwhelming success of the last studio album LOVE AT FIRST STING and the live album WORLD WIDE LIVE, the Scorpions were under enormous pressure in 1988. The musicians resisted and barricaded themselves in the studio for almost three years, where they worked meticulously with producer Dieter Dierks on the successor. On SAVAGE AMUSEMENT, the Scorpions presented themselves more mature and demonstrated that they belonged to the avant-garde of hard rock more than ever in terms of production technology. Despite all the changes, the album was still a typical Scorpions work: a good pinch of barely restrained aggression and dynamics, beautiful harmonies and melodies, brilliant guitars and of course Klaus Meine’s unique voice. No wonder that SAVAGE AMUSEMENT, released on 16 April 1988, seamlessly continued the success of the previous albums and became another worldwide hit.

SAVAGE AMUSEMENT is now released as a 180g 1LP, pressed on transparent light blue vinyl.

In addition to SAVAGE AMUSEMENT, FLY TO THE RAINBOW, IN TRANCE, VIRGIN KILLER, HUMANITY (HOUR 1), TAKEN BY FORCE, BLACKOUT, LOVEDRIVE, TOKYO TAPES, WORLD WIDE LIVE, ANIMAL MAGNETISM and LOVE AT FIRST STING will also be released in new coloured vinyl versions.
