Turn of the Cards

Stunning vocals and superb musicianship were the hallmarks of Renaissance, the supreme art rock band of the Seventies. With Annie Haslam as lead vocalist, the group had a great advantage over most other bands whose singers lacked her finesse and purity of tone. quot;Turn of the Cardsquot; was the their fifth album and was first released in 1974. The band's superb vocal harmonies and top class musicianship is in evidence on this six track collection of distinctive songs. Many connoisseurs regard such extended works as quot;Running Hardquot; and the quot;Mother Russiquot;' suite to be among their finest works and John Tout's rhapsodic piano playing is another highlight of this pearl of an album. This edition comes in mini LP vinyl replica packaging with the original artwork, including a booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes by respected author and journalist Chris Welch.
