Scorpions celebrate 30 years since the release of "Wind of Change", one of the best-selling singles of all time, with an exclusive box set. "Wind of Change: The Iconic Song" is dedicated solely to Klaus Meine's power ballad, which, inspired by the experience of playing at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989, embodies a sense of hope, a spirit of optimism and the prospect of a better future and became the soundtrack to the end of the Cold War. The stone-look box set includes an 84-page hardcover book with an essay by Edgar Klüsener, former editor-in-chief of Metalhammer magazine and a close confidant of the band. He interviewed Klaus Mein exclusively for this book and writes about the origins and impact of the song. The book contains the first handwritten lyrics of "Wind of Change" by Klaus Meine and many pages of photographic material from the band's photographer Didi Zill and from Klaus Meine's private archive. In addition to the book, the box set also includes an arrangement of "Wind of Change" for piano and vocals and five versions of the ballad on CD and vinyl: the original album version, a version for the Berlin Philharmonic, a Russian version, a Spanish version and a previously unreleased, still secret version of the anthem for the fall of the Berlin Wall. - Boxset contents: o 12'' LP and CD o 84-page hardcover book o Essay by Edgar Klüsener, former editor-in-chief of the magazine "Metalhammer" and close confidant of the band o Rare and exclusive photographs by Didi Zill, the band's photographer at the time o Interview with Klaus Mein o Materials from Klaus Mein's private archive o Illustration of the first handwritten lyrics by Klaus Mein o Arrangement of the ballad for piano and vocals
