1982 studio album by Scorpions
Blackout Scorpions . It was released in 1982 by Harvest and EMI Records .
In the US, the album was certified gold on 24 June 1982 and platinum on 8 March 1984 by RIAA .[6] Rolling Stone Blackout as 73rd on their list of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time" in 2017.[7]
Background [ edit ]
After losing his voice during the writing of the album,[8] Klaus Meine had to undergo surgery on his vocal cords and was uncertain as to whether or not he would be able to record. Demos of the material were recorded with singer Don Dokken from Dokken , a then-unknown band from Los Angeles .[9] [10]
In Kerrang! Rudolf Schenker said that he could not choose between his guitar solos on "China White" so the US and European releases differed in this detail.
