OFF: Scorps

[Chris Raymond]

Three albums that changed my life.

1.Hawkwind - Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do (1972)
2 Scorpions - In Trance (1975)
3.Groundhogs - Split (1970)

I still really love the Scorpions - Lonesome Crow, Fly To The Rainbow, In
Trance, Virgin Killers and Taken By Force. I actually just listened to them
all last week along with Love Drive.

Unfortunately I never saw the Scorpions Live until 1979 after Ulrich Roth
left. To see them with Roth would have been a dream come true.

ROTFLMAO!  But they did have some great album covers, at least...
