Return to Forever (50th Anniversary Limited Deluxe Edition)

After announcing their retirement a few years ago, German legends Scorpions had a change of heart and will keep touring and making new music as they approach their 50th anniversary in 2015.

"Actually, we only wanted to finally record some song ideas for the fans, which we had worked on in the past but never put on an album, and then release them without much fanfare," Jabs says. "There had been quite a few over the years, ideas that were really good, but in the end didn't make the cut back then due to the limited space on vinyl and later on CD."

"We quickly had eight songs, which partly had to be finalized first and were then recorded from scratch. During the work, increasingly new song ideas were added from our end, as well as from the two Swedes. We had so much fun working and suddenly we found ourselves in the middle of the songwriting process once again. And in the end, it turned out to be a brand-new Scorpions album after all."
