''Lonesome Crow'' is the debut album by the German hard rock band Scorpions. It was recorded soon after Scorpions became a fully professional band under the production of Conny Plank, apparently in only six or seven days, and released February 1972 in West Germany as the soundtrack to the German anti-drug movie ''Das Kalte Paradies'', and May 1973 in the United States. ==Background== It is the band’s only album with lead guitarist Michael Schenker as a full-time member. He left not long after to join UFO and was replaced by Ulrich Roth on later albums. Schenker, however, would rejoin the band briefly during the recording and touring of 1979’s ''Lovedrive''. Of the album, vocalist Meine said: Apart from occasional performances of “In Search of the Peace of Mind” up to 1978 and between 1996 and 2006, Scorpions have never played any song from ''Lonesome Crow'' in concert since the tour in support of their third album ''In Trance''.〔(Scorpions Setlist by Album )〕 The album had several different cover art sleeves and was re-titled ''Action'' for its initial release in Scandinavia, ''The Scorpions'' for one 1976 release,〔(‘The Scorpions’ by the Scorpions )〕 and ''The Original Scorpions'' with a different running order for a Japanese release in 1981 and its first-ever CD issue in 1986,.〔(‘The Original Scorpions’ )〕 The 1982 German re-issue cover art was created by the artist Rodney Matthews. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lonesome Crow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
