Taken By Force is the fifth studio album by German band Scorpions, released by RCA Records in 1977. This was the first Scorpions album to feature drummer Herman Rarebell and the final studio album to feature guitarist Uli Jon Roth. Roth left the band in 1978 following the end of the album's tour, and was eventually replaced by Matthias Jabs. The album cover photography was taken by Michael von Gimbut,[2] returning for his third Scorpions album cover commission. Like their previous two albums, Taken By Force caused controversy with it's cover art which again resulted in the artwork being replaced in most markets with an alternative cover using photographs of the band members.
