Scorpions – Virgin Killer

As per everyone's review, this pressing sounds dynamic and good sound staging. Prices has gone crazy. I paid premium for the OBI and unfortunately missing inserts.

Sealed copy available. 35€ plus shipping from Spain. Pm if interested

This is a proud new piece in my Best Buy Series collection, i had no idea a BBS of Scorpions existed? … other BBS issues on my want list, either Branded, or Shrink Stickered, are Chet Atkins or Glenn Miller or Elvis or Jefferson Airplane/Starship or Floyd Cramer or David Bowie or John Denver or Lou Reed or Hot Tuna or Jim Reeves or The Ramones or Henry Mancini or Waylon Jennings or Harry Nilsson or Guess Who ot Aztec Two Step or Gogi Grant or Duane Eddy or Arthur Crudup or the Kinks or the Scorpions or a bunch other artists on RCA Records … if you see any when you’re digging, would you please buy them, and i will pay you back later ;-I

Maybe the worst sleeve design ever made in rock history.

Excellent sound, way ahead the first german pressing, lots of dynamic and bass

It would be interesting to compare measurements with other pressings or issues. Some measurements for this release are:

Peak Levels (EAC %): 69.9 / 76.0 / 69.1 / 75.4 / 69.6 / 71.4 / 74.1 / 73.0 / 69.3
Dynamic Range (f2k): 10

Early 1st press copies come with a huge poster. Very hard to find complete.

Excellent pressing. Excellent sound quality. Blows RCA International and RCA copies out of the water. Bass clearer in the mix by far. Better dynamics. Best I've heard Backstage Queen by a large margin. Sounds analogue to me..no harshness at full volume.
Note-(Fly to the Rainbow-[self produced] was always a better recording than the 3 following Scorpions releases-[Dieter Dierks]-produced).
Reviewed on Linn LP12/Ekos/Ortofon Windfeld ti/Lingo/Dynavector DV-75/Bel Canto eVo2i/Shahinian Arc.

I have US pressing from 1977 and this new blue vinyl copy. My copy on blue vinyl sounds amazing.

Fantastic musicianship and sophisticated lyrical content. This album kicked off a string of masterpieces from the Scorps!!!
