Lonesome Crow is the debut studio album by the German rock band Scorpions. It was recorded soon after Scorpions became a fully professional band under the production of Conny Plank, apparently in only six or seven days, and released on 29 February 1972 in West Germany as the soundtrack to the German anti-drug movie Das Kalte Paradies,[4] and May 1973 in the United States. The album's style is darkly melodic, typical for early Scorpions but unlike their later work.[2]
