Scorpions, in a transitional stage of their 1970s years, recorded German versions of The Sweet's hits "Fox On The Run" and "Action." These recordings were made as a test, asked by Dieter Dierks production company, when he was discussing with the band the prospect of becoming their manager. Although the initial plan was not releasing them, both parties agreed later on that they should issue a 7" single, using the nickname "The Hunters" instead of Scorpions.
