BMG, "Lovedrive" marked the beginning of a new era in the history of the Scorpions. Guitarist Uli Jon Roth had left the band for good in 1978 after the first tour of Japan. The new man, Matthias Jabs, also came from Hanover, and he was also joined in the studio by Michael Schenker. On the songs "Lovedrive", "Another Piece of Meat" and "Coast To Coast" he contributed the solo parts. In the end, there was a studio album on which three exceptional guitarists worked together. The result was correspondingly breathtaking. "Lovedrive" is the first classic Scorpions work of the post-Uli Jon Roth era, and it already shows all the characteristics that were to distinguish their music for decades to come: an almost perfect blend of beautiful ballads, fantastic songwriting, hard and aggressive power riffs and powerful grooves. "Lovedrive" features songs like "Holiday," which remain crowd favorites and part of every concert to this day. It was the first Scorpions album to reach the Top 100 of the American Billboard charts (#55). "Lovedrive" is now released as a 180g 1LP, pressed on transparent red vinyl.
