Comeblack is a compilation of songs recorded by German hard rock band Scorpions; and is intended as a comeback album, following their farewell tour. Released after the successful 2010's Sting in the Tail, half of the album features re-recorded versions of their own classic songs and the other half cover versions of 1960s and early 1970s popular rock songs.[5] It was announced on 3 October 2011, with a planned global release date of 4 November[5] and a US release on 24 January 2012.[6] Comeblack was also released for streaming online by AOL Music on 23 January 2012.[7] The album was released by Sony Music Entertainment and available in both CD and vinyl formats.[8]
During its first week on sale in the US, Comeblack sold about 5,000 copies, debuting at number 90 on the Billboard 200 chart.[9]
A review of Comeblack by Allmusic rated the album three out of five stars, noting that the re-recorded songs sounded "bigger than their '80s counterparts," and saying that among the covers, "Children of the Revolution" and "Tainted Love" stood out.[1]
