The classic era is the ex-Yarbirds
The exact reverse for me (maybe Cards before Scheher)
Yup, always surprised Prologue gets so little support... Yeah sure, it's more psych than symph, but that's what I ilke about it) - especially the energy compared to Novella's boring stuff. I guess that Prologue vote is mine, since I can't vote anymore. Ashes is rather good (my second choice), though I wish they'd found a better artwork for the sleeve.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I feel like it’s spitting hairs on this one, Scheherazade wins, but Novella and Ashes are Burning get equal play. I don’t have A Turn of the Cards-I’ve been saving a spot for years for when I want to fill a big hole in my collection.

I really like Novella for some reason. It's the one I reach for most often.

Thank you to this thread for reminding me I still have a sealed, mint condition CD copy of Scheherazade and Other Stories.

Might choose Scheherezade, but I'm not crazy about Ocean Gypsy. As a Coherent album, Novella is the best listen for me.

All are great. Prologue is an unloved classic. For fans of this great band it's really hairs breath stuff. I went With AAB.

I'm not an expert on Renaissance but I'm familiar with 1970-75 era roughly... And I must admit that "Ashes Are Burning" really worked for me repeatedly. Like, sometimes I have complaints about their style, Haslam's vocals etc., but AAB always pleased me.
So, for consistency alone, AAB edges out Scheherezade and Cards. Edited by thief - July 16 2021 at 10:05 |

Got a real soft spot for Prologue, but Scheherazade edges it.

Missed this one originally. I like them all except Azure d'Or. I love Camera Camera though. Vote goes to Song for all Seasons, followed by Ashes.

I'm not too crazy about that Song of Scheherazade "epic", but from they're amazingly strong 70's discography its hard to select a favorite album among the rest (except Azure D'or) -Ashes, Turn, Prologue or Novella...

For me, the best as a whole collection of songs goes is Turn of the Cards, though all the ones that I know have songs that I love. However, my real favourite is the Carnagie Hall one, which has all of my favourite songs, and I prefer those versions over the studio ones (also, it was the first album I got from them).

They're all good, but Turn of the Cards wins for me.
