BMG celebrates the musical history of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Scorpions with a special edition set of colored vinyl reissues. With Scorpions - Colours of Rock, BMG is reissuing the eventful band history of the German hard rock legends in blazing iridescent color. The exclusive reissues will feature twelve album highlights from Scorpions wide-spanning career including four of their legendary albums remastered for the first time from the original master tapes. Known for their relentless success, constant musical evolution, and ass-kicking performances worldwide – the twelve reissue vinyls are as colorful and eclectic as Scorpions' career. The colors chosen for the vinyl versions not only reflect the band's history, but are also paired with the style of the original artwork of each individual album.

1977's Taken By Force was Scorpions' last studio effort with lead guitarist Uli Roth and the first with new drummer Herman Rarebell. The album is chock full of classic Scorpions fare including the live show stopper "We'll Burn The Sky"; Roth's "I've Got To Be Free," a high energy and hard driving piece with great riffs; "He's A Woman She's A Man," with its ultra heavy riffs and catchy chorus; the too often overlooked "Your Light," that grooves like a Motown production; and the ballad "Born To Touch Your Feelings" which displays the romantic side of the group. Although musical differences between Roth and the rest of band had already come to a head during the recording process, Taken By Force proved to be yet another fascinating and flawless album from the Scorpions camp. It's an exquisite climax to the Uli Roth era and a work that would have a significant impact on the future development of heavy metal.

Taken By Force is presented here on colored 180g vinyl LP.
