Scheherazade And Other Stories (Expanded Edition) Limited Collectors Edition - 2 Cd / Dvd

Recorded in May 1975 at Abbey Road Studios, the album is rightly considered one of the band's finest works. It features the epic "Song of Scheherazade" (which dominated the second side of the album on the original LP release) and other classic tracks such as "Trip to the Fair," "Ocean Gypsy" and "The Vultures Fly High." Upon its release, the album reached the US Top 50 and was one of the best-selling Renaissance albums.

This expanded edition of Scheherazade & Other Stories has been remastered from the original first-generation master tapes and includes a stunning 5.1 surround sound upmix on DVD (NTSC / Region Free), which also includes a high-resolution stereo mix and a wonderful bonus feature of a previously unreleased 1976 live promotional film. The set also includes a bonus CD featuring a concert recorded in Nottingham, England in January 1976, and a previously unreleased bonus track. The release also includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay featuring exclusive interviews.
