From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pure Instinct is the thirteenth studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions , released in 1996.
The cover art for this album, as with several earlier Scorpions albums, was replaced with an alternative cover for some releases[ 3] due to the nudity on the original cover. This is the only Scorpions album on which session musician Curt Cress plays drums.
The album has more ballads than non-ballads. The song "You And I" gained some popularity and was often played on Scorpions concerts.
