Not only do Scorpions write great songs and produce phenomenal albums, but they are also a unique live band that feels at home on any stage, regardless of its size. It's not without reason that the Hanoverians have earned a reputation as one of the best live bands of all time. So what could be more natural than documenting the band's sensational performances in stadiums and arenas around the world with a live album? 'World Wide Live' was an ambitious project. A film crew followed the band across the USA, Asia and Europe all the way to South America, recording the daily touring routine as well as the concerts and the band's interaction with their fans. Originally released on VHS video and optical disc, the documentary was also released in cinemas in the USA. For the live album, the band cut five concerts in Paris (February 29, 1984), Los Angeles (April 24 and 25, 1984), San Diego (April 26, 1984), Costa Mesa (April 28, 1984) and Cologne (November 17, 1984). The recordings capture the electrifying intensity of their shows and give a clear idea of how easily they can engage audiences in different parts of the world. The core of the live programme consists of the best tracks from the previous four studio albums, which in the live version once again clearly gain in sharpness, urgency and power. 'World Wide Live' is now available as a 180g light orange coloured double gatefold vinyl. In addition to 'World Wide Live', 'Fly To The Rainbow', 'Tokyo Tapes', 'In Trance', 'Virgin Killer', 'Humanity - Hour 1', 'Savage Amusement', 'Blackout', 'Lovedrive', 'Taken By Force', 'Animal Magnetism' and 'Love At First Sting' will also be released as new coloured vinyl versions.
