Artist: SAGA
Album: THE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO THROWIN REMASTERED (CD)

Release date: 1989/ 2003
Media type: CD

I noticed that there were a lot of negative reviews of this album on Prog Archives, but it has always been one of my favourite Saga CDs. Still performing as basically a three piece, Saga produced some great music on this disc: notably 'As I Am', 'Waiting In The Wings', 'Giant', etc. Only 'The Nineties' weakens what is an excellent album in the main. Listening to it now, the production still sounds remarkably good for its time; when awful keyboard sounds were the norm. All in all a very good album in my opinion.
