Description

As one of the best-selling singles of all time Scorpions are celebrating the 30th anniverary of the first release of Wind of Change by announcing an exclusive box set for release in November 2020. Wind of Change: The Iconic Song is dedicated exclusively to the power ballad written by Klaus Meine, which became the soundtrack of the end of the Cold War. Inspired by the experience of playing at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989, Wind of Change embodies the feeling of hope, optimism and the prospect of a better future.

The box set, which appears in a brick look, contains a 84-page hardcover book with an essay written by Dr. Edgar Klüsener, former editor-in-chief of Metal Hammer and close confidant of the band, who interviewed Klaus Meine exclusively for this purpose and writes about the genesis and impact of the song.

The book contains rare photographs of the bands photographer Didi Zill and Klaus Meines private archive, as well as the handwritten lyrics for Wind of Change by Klaus Meine.

Next to the book the box set includes a vocal and piano arrangement of Wind of Change. The anniversary product is completed with the CD and 12 LP containing 5 versions of the song, including an unreleased hidden treasure.
