Description

Polish pressed music cassette. Clear cassette without text.

Poland is probably the country that had the most record labels in the world that only released cassettes. But even though there were lots of labels the market was still small as they only printed these for their own market inside of Poland. And a label in one town maybe lacked the distribution for another town and so on. A Warzaw or Krakow label might print more copies of a tape then labels from a smaller town. So even if there are thousands of releases you will notice how rare some are if you start to try to list the catalog number of one particular label. Some cassettes just rarely shows up. One smaller label were Music Studio based at the Ul. Piastowska street in Ruda. Rusa is a small town with approx 20 000 citizens and based in the Southern part of Poland. The label released around 150-200 tapes between 1991 and 1993.

Prior to Lovedrive’s recording, the Scorpions line-up had a major change when their lead guitarist, Uli Jon Roth, quit the group (not to mention, the rock genre was rapidly changing). With this in mind, the band not only highlighted the album with the licks and riffs of three guitarists (Rudolf Schenker, Michael Schenker, Matthias Jabs), but they also dramatically changed their style to sound more like that of Van Halen. This change is quite welcome; not only are the performances more unpredictable, but the lyrics and melodies are better written. In fact, some of the Scorpions most classic songs, such as Loving You Sunday Morning, Holiday and Coast To Coast are found on Lovedrive, which makes it one of their finest.
