EP
Big City Nights
Big City Nights is an EP from Scorpions, released in 1988 on Mercury Records, with a US release the same year. It arrived in the same year as the band's studio album Savage Amusement, and it sits late in a run of records that began with Lonesome Crow in 1972.
For anyone following the band's story, it falls between Love at First Sting in 1984 and Crazy World in 1990, so it is a small marker from a busy stretch of their career. It is best picked up by listeners who want to fill in the detail around Savage Amusement rather than begin with the band's main albums.
