The Scorpions’ second studio album, FLY TO THE RAINBOW, was released on 01 November 1974 and is the first album produced by the members of the band themselves. The album was produced shortly after their LONESOME CROW tour, after which Michael Schenker left the band and was replaced by Uli Jon Roth. Stylistically, FLY TO THE RAINBOW deviated strongly from their debut album LONESOME CROW and moved in a more experimental direction, which nevertheless already showed strong hard rock influences at that time and already foreshadowed where the band would later go. Besides lead singer Klaus Meine, the album also features the voices of Rudolf Schenker (“They Need a Million”) and Uli Jon Roth (“Drifting Sun”). To date, the album has sold more than a million copies worldwide.

FLY TO THE RAINBOW was remastered with special care from the original tapes and is now released as a 180g 1LP, pressed on transparent purple vinyl.
