Vocals - Mike Campbell
Guitar - Ray Monette
Bass - Bob Babitt
Drums - Andrew Smith

Not to be confused with the Scorpions from Germany, this band is from Detroit, Michigan, USA. The band's only album contains hard rock with a sometimes funky and sometimes bluesy edge. Scorpion were not part of the local rock scene (MC-5, SRC, Amboy Dukes, Bob Seger) back then. Like Rare Earth, Scorpion was a bar band. They also did session work as well. So enjoy once again an obscure album from the late 60's.
"A strong local Detroit, Michigan band’s only album, containing hard rock with a funky edge. Bob Babitt and Andrew Smith became well-known session musicians in the seventies, playing on albums by Alice Cooper, Jimi Hendrix, Yoko Ono, Alexis Korner, Four Tops, Temptations and many others. Ray Monette joined Rare Earth for several albums”. (Fuzz, Acid & Flowers)
