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 9 February 1972 in West Germany as the soundtrack to the German anti-drug movie Das Kalte Paradies (The Cold Paradise), and May 1973 in the United States. The album's style is darkly melodic, typical for early Scorpions but unlike their later work.
