SAGA - 5 Original Albums Volume 2

love this band and love the music

Great package! A 2015 compilation put out by Polydor/Island, a division of Universal. A German release, it appears. Makes sense... SAGA is popular there. This contains the following albums: SAGA (1978), SILENT KNIGHT (1980), WORLDS APART (1981), IN TRANSIT (1982) and PLEASURE & THE PAIN (1997). The most glaring omission is their 2nd album IMAGES AT TWILIGHT (1979), which would have been better than the later PLEASURE & THE PAIN. Had it been included, we would have had their first five albums. (IN TRANSIT is a live collection.)Having said that, this is a great intro to the band. It has become my intro: I previously only had a greatest hits collection. I'm listening in order to understand how and where the band developed. The first three albums (I bought the missing 2nd one separately) are very progressive... melodic, lots of keyboards... and contain some interesting passages of musical interplay. The band is good. They seem to reach a strong plateau with WORLDS APART.The package comes with the CDs housed in mini album replica sleeves. I'll try to post a pic.If you're new to the band... and you like progressive rock... you will love this. Think mid 70s Queen mixed with early 80s Rush. Highly recommended!

I love SAGA and to get this 5 albums package for such price was a great investment. Great value for your money. And great music.

Worth it
