ULI Jon Roth, mystic, guitar guru, and former member of the Scorpions has taken songs from four Scorpions albums and not just re-recorded them, but reinvented them for a double CD release on UDR on March 9th.

"The material for this double CD was recorded last
year in the same hall in Hanover that we used for the Scorpions rehearsals
1973-1978,” explained Roth.
“Together with an amazing bunch of very talented
young musicians, I revisited my personal favourites from the early Scorpions period, some of which were
written in that same hall. It was an emotional few days and I am very pleased
with the results in more ways than one.
"The idea was to stay truthful to the
original spirit of the music, while also putting a new slant on it whenever it
felt like the right thing to do. I feel we really succeeded in this and I’m
very excited about this project. It was a intense journey into the past and I
think we really managed to bring the songs back to life with a vengeance."
