Scorpions: Sting In The Tail versie op vinyl LP in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Sony Music in samenwerking met Columbia SevenOne Music op 15. februari 2013.

"On our new album we sound fresh and straightforward, one hundred percent like Scorpions," says Matthias Jabs. "Sting In The Tail" is probably the most characteristic Scorpions album. Maybe also the most beautiful. In any case, the most authentic. The vortex of drugs, sex and narcissism that has long held rock music together has gone somewhere and now overwhelms the fashion models or it-girls of this world. Today, rock has grown up and needs to be taken seriously. Crucial to the functioning of this construct are the people, the fans. Regardless of class, gender or age. And this folksy authenticity is reflected in the songs on "Sting In The Tail".Review "A damn strong, authentic rock album with great character, freshness and power, on which the band combines its strengths. And while this is nothing but classic hard rock in the unmistakable SCORPIONS style, this work doesn't sound dusty at all. The last sting of the scorpion hurts and pleases at the same time, and that's a good thing!" (metal.de) "Lush guitar riffs, good songs, Klaus Meine sings sovereignly as usual and the bandwidth ranges from rock records like "Raised On Rock", "Sting In The Tail" "Rock Zone" to - of course - soulful rock ballads like "SLY" ." (br-online.de) "On their farewell album "Sting in the Tail", the Hanoverians really go full throttle and rock the rock world again: hard'n'heavy, hard and heavy." (swr.de)
