Over 40 years have passed since Canadian prog-rock band Saga released their breakout self-titled debut album in 1978. Their typical trademarks - synthesizer harmonies, breathtaking guitar riffs, complex keyboard arrangements, and the charismatic vocals of frontman Michael Sadler - have helped Saga sell over eight million records worldwide and establish themselves as an influential prog-rock institution. In 2021, earMUSIC pays tribute to Saga's legacy with a series of remastered reissues of some of the group's essential material released from 1978 to 2007. Saga's 1997 album "Pleasure & the Pain" is presented here on gatefold vinyl LP with enhanced artwork and extensive liner notes.
