Esoteric Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded three disc clamshell box edition of the classic album, Scheherazade & Other Stories by Renaissance. Recorded at Abbey Road studios in May 1975, the album is rightly regarded as one of the bands finest works, featuring the epic Song of Scheherazade (which dominated the albums second side on the original LP release) and other classic tracks including Trip To The Fair, Ocean Gypsy and The Vultures Fly High. Upon its original release the album reached the US Top 50 and was one of the best-selling Renaissance albums.
This expanded edition has been newly remastered from the original first-generation master tapes and also features a stunning 5.1 Surround Sound up-mix 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 taken from a concert recorded in January 1976 in Nottingham, England and two previously unreleased bonus tracks. The release also features an illustrated booklet with a new essay featuring exclusive interviews.
