Scheherazade and Other Stories is the sixth studio album by the English progressive rock band Renaissance, released in 1975. It is considered by many to be their magnum opus, and is one of the most popular albums.
The album is a concept album based on the stories of Scheherazade from the Arabian Nights. The title track is a 20-minute suite that tells the story of Scheherazade's attempts to save her life by telling stories to the Sultan. The album was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and features a more symphonic sound than previous Renaissance albums.
It was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 48 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Their second highest charting album. It has been certified gold by the RIAA in the United States but was largely ignored in the UK
EU Countries: You've heard of Brexit haven't you? If you haven't, I admire your ability to ignore the real world. It means if you live in the EU, you will have to pay VAT on your order to get it delivered. Please don't waste all of our time by ordering if you aren't prepared to pay it and don't send me indignant emails about it - I can't help it, I hate it more than you, believe me and I have told you!! Right?
