It's a musical injustice that the records from the earlier incarnation of Scorpions don't get as much airplay as the Blackout/Love at First Sting era of the band. There's top level songwriting (albeit less commercial) and outstanding musicianship on the early Scorpions albums that is too great to continue to be ignored. Hopefully the excellence of early Scorpions will achieve greater recognition as time goes on. Highly recommended!

If you like the Scorps, then you should have this album in your line up! Is it there BEST album - -NO - no it's not! I would give that award to Taken By Force. My BEST to whatever = Scorps to Corpse list would be Taken By Force, Love Drive, Black Out, maybe Tokyo Tapes then Fly to The Rainbow, yadda yadda etc with my least favorite & last album being Love at First Sting - that album just sucks, unless you're crazy for that soft ballad stuff.

Hard to believe but the SCORPIONS have actually been around since the late 1960's/early 1970's but it wasn't until VIRGIN KILLER that the Scorps developed their classic hard rock, guitar driven sound that fans have come to love worldwide. VIRGIN KILLER is the last release to feature lead guitarist Uli Roth who would leave the band for an ill advised solo career! Features several of the band's early classic including "Pictured Life," "Backstage Queen," "Polar Nights" & "Virgin Killer". So if you are a fan of the classic SCORPIONS sound of releases like BLACKOUT, LOVEDRIVE, LOVE AT FIRST STING, than VIRGIN KILLER is a must have addition to your collection...it's where the band found that legendary sound. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. ROCK ON, LLN.Read full review
A must-need for all Scorpions fans. This is part of their earlier work from the 70s. They rock so hard on this album, you might think it's early metal. Funky riffs, amazing vocals, you'll find yourself out of breath when you try to sing along. Scorps are so versatile, able to do slow and fast songs, and sound mesmerizing no matter what they do. That's how you know when you're listening to a top-quality band.
