TURN OF THE CARDS

One of the best Renaissance albums, TURN OF THE CARDS was released in 1974 and contains 6 fine songs with "Mother Russia", "Running Hard", and "Black Flame" being classics of the band. No bad songs at all are here. I also like the spaseness of "Cold is Being". This was the ultimate time for the band along with other albums like PROLOGUE. Hard to believe this is the band that churned out such pop crap a fews years later. But, I guess that was the fate of a multitude of progressive 1970's bands. Change or die. Solid 4 star release by Renaissance.
