SCORPIONS' Virgin Killer - October 9th, 1976

Uli Jon Roth talked to BraveWords about the controversial cover: "When we did the album, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now since I have a daughter, I find it quite embarrassing. Not that I didn't see it, because I was just a kid. I thought, why not? It wasn't my idea, it was the record company’s idea.”
