Trivia:
- The European version features a different guitar solo on the track "China White".

- Klaus Meine had had problems with his voice a year before the recording of the album. While Klaus underwent surgery, Don Dokken was responsible for recording the vocals on the album. Eventually, Klaus recovered and returned to singing in Scorpions, recording vocals for the album and Don Dokken filling in on backing vocals. As of today the demos with Don Dokken as lead vocalist have not been released.

Recording information:

Basic tracks recorded at "Villa Saint Pecaire", St. Jaques-Grasse, Southern France with Dierks Recording Mobile I.
Additional recordings and mixing at Dierks Studios, Stommeln (Pulheim), West Germany.
