Description: | On ??Pleasure & The Pain?, the band??s 12th studio album, SAGA presents a much more edgy and tougher side than on their preceding albums. For SAGA quite unusual, the guitar as the leading instrument dominates most of the tracks, powerful riffs take the place of former extensive keyboard parts. At that time, the band was searching for a new contemporary SAGA sound while sticking to their trademark components. ??Pleasure And The Pain? is clearly among the most exceptional works of SAGA. Reissued as a Heavyweight Black Vinyl Gatefold Edition ??Pleasure & The Pain? will be available on vinyl for the first time ever and features the stunning cover version of Peter Gabriel??s ??Solsbury Hill?? as an exclusive bonus track as well as personal liner notes by Ian Crichton. - .. THE PAIN / 180GR.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 move over eight million records worldwide and remain an influential prog-rock institution. In 2021, earMUSIC pays tribute to Saga's legacy with a series of remastered reissues of some off 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.On back cover:
