    This is a rock classic album from late 70's and sounds great. The sound on this German pressing is fresh, warm and crispy.

          Scorpions' Lovedrive -album is definitely among the best (rock)albums ever made. In the tracks [A2: Another Piece of Meat] and [B1: Can't Get Enough] you can hear sounds of raising Motörhead - definite blues behind the blue suede shoes.

            Excellent audio reproduction, no comparison with CD, mp3 etc. Crystal crisp HFs, normal MF not so strong on LF but this is to be expected for a late 70s production. IMO with a little bit of touch in LF it would be perfect!
