Японское издание 86-го года. Вышла эта каша под названием "The Original Scorpions". Это первый альбом группы Scorpions, в оригинале обзывался "Lonesome Crow". Почему "каша" - все дорожки перемешаны, по сравнению с оригиналом.
(от автора релиза)
Действительно, нормальная и грамотная работа, точнее не скажешь. На этом альбоме знакомые всем по многочисленным мировым хитам Scorpions предстают в образе эдаких залихватских арт\прог-рокеров, у которых иногда в голове всплывают фразы типа: "Эй, парни! Мы же собрались играть рок`н`ролл", после чего Михаэль Шенкер начинает нарезать жуткие соляки на своей многострадальной гитаре. При этом музыканты впадают время от времени в сущую психоделию или пытаются подражать джазовым пробежкам, как, например, в треке "Action".

It is the band's only album with lead guitarist Michael Schenker - just 16 at the time of the recording - as a full-time member. He soon left to join UFO and was replaced by Ulrich Roth. Schenker would, however, rejoin briefly during the recording and touring of 1979's Lovedrive.
Klaus Meine: With Lonesome Crow, we were just a young band trying to find our way, trying to shape an artistic style to find the Scorpions DNA. There was a ballad with "In Search of the Peace of Mind", and a psychedelic rocker with the title track, "I’m Goin' Mad", [which] was a great rocker with Michael Schenker playing great solos. We were just a young band with talented guys, with no idea on where to go from here. For the subsequent album, Fly to the Rainbow, we brought in Uli Roth, who had a Hendrix influence, and Rudolf and I became a songwriter team. When Matthias Jabs joined the band, we found our style, fast riffs but great melodies, along with the power ballads.
Michael Schenker in later years has spoken bitterly about not getting his proper writing credit, with a blanket "all songs by Scorpions" when in his mind many of the songs were written by himself and Klaus alone. In particular Michael cites "In Search of the Peace of Mind" remaining, unjustly, in the Scorpions set list for years when it's in reality, his song. Apart from these occasional performances of "In Search of the Peace of Mind" up to 1978 and between 1996 and 2006, Scorpions have played no song from Lonesome Crow since the tour in support of their third album In Trance.
The songs "Action" and "I'm Goin' Mad" are re-recordings of the songs for their unreleased 1970 single on CCA label that were later released on the compilation Psychedelic Gems 2, making them the earliest released Scorpions recordings.
The album had several different sleeves and was re-titled Action for its initial release in Scandinavia, The Scorpions for one 1976 release, and The Original Scorpions, with a different running order, for a Japanese release in 1981 and its first-ever CD issue in 1986. The 1982 German reissue cover art was created by the artist Rodney Matthews.
