In Trance - 2023 European 10-track Clear Vinyl LP Reissue

2023 reissue of German Hard Rockers 3rd album - their first album made in collaboration with producer Dieter Dierks marking a departure from  the progressive krautrock of the two previous albums and towards the early metallic sound that was to become highly influential. In Trance was originally released in 1975 on the RCA Victor label - featuring the single In Trance.

This is a part of the first 12 "Scorpions Colours of Rock" Editions - the pressing is using a recent remaster by Mischa Janisch at Austria's Sunshine Mastering - subsequently pressed onto 180 gram clear vinyl - and presented polylined inner sleeve, ultimately in a soft touch picture cover.
