RENAISSANCE - CD AZURE D'OR

Popis - AZURE D'OR:
Digisleeve edition. The most collectable version on the market of this 1979 studio album. Recorded at the time when punk assaulted the rock world, Renaissance proudly flew the flag for Prog Rock, producing this fine album, which did well in the UK charts and kept their popular profile intact in the States and Europe, where they toured consistently. Features 2 singles, Jekyll And Hyde and The Winter Tree. Detailed, extensive liner notes, including quotes from Annie Haslam and Mike Dunford of
Renaissance, by respected author and journalist Chris Welch.
By the end of the 1970s Renaissance was established as one of the UKs premiere rock bands, whose blend of classical, folk,
jazz and rock genres resulted in a highly attractive sound and style. Hugely popular in America and Europe where they toured consistently, the band also produced a series of excellent albums. Azure DOr was one of the last released at the end of a turbulent decade, when punk was overtaking progressive rock in
popularity. Nevertheless, this 1979 album did well in the UK charts and includes - among its diverse tracks - two that were released as singles, notably Jekyll And Hyde and The Winter Tree, both written by guitarist Michael Dunford and lyricist Betty Thatcher.
